From humble beginnings comes a true ‘ICON’.

Cano Aret Ozgener has worked incredibly hard and taken lots of risks to get CAO where it is today. Entering the tobacco industry as a Meerschaum pipe carver, it wasn’t until 1993 that Ozgener entered the cigar business, so he had quite a lot to prove. With the help of Carlos Torano and Nestor Plasencia, CAO released their first Honduran cigar in ’93, and their first Nicaraguan cigar in ’96. It didn’t take long for CAO to claim a legendary reputation as a consistent best-seller, and earn the honor of an ‘ICON’ cigar release.

The CAO ICON joins the ranks of single size ICON releases with a chunky 5.5” x 54 Connecticut Broadleaf-wrapped robusto, containing a punchy but smooth mix of Dominican & Nicaraguan long-fillers. This is a bold, hearty stick that'll be good as soon as they hit your doorstep or after a few years of aging, with a profile loaded down with oaky, earthy nuances and notes of cocoa, cedar, and coffee. CAO is a dedicated cigar company, and the ICON represents the best of their talents to date. Pick up a box, and tip your hat to true ‘ICON’.

This is simply a fantastic cigar. Not a harsh note in it. Pleasant, earthy and dense with flavor. The draw was a little tight but not uncomfortably so. Really nice smoke with a low burn.

These cigars remind me of what the MX2 used to be. Rich, chocolate, nutty smooth as the best of the best. Truly a satisfying experience morning, noon and night. You will not be disappointed. CAO has hit a home run.

I'm becoming more and more a CAO fan. Tried these because I'd never seen them before. No disappointment here! Not as strong as I thought they might be with the dark Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, but one more great CAO cigar. Yum!

These are generally good cigars. I’m not really a CAO cigar person. From our experience most of the cigars from this company taste bitter and burn horribly. These are surprisingly good especially with a dark beer ang generally burn well.

1st one, fresh out of the box, didn't burn very good, very uneven, didn't smoke that great either. It felt loosely rolled, but after 2 weeks in my humidor, whole different story, it felt tightly rolled, smoked excellent, burned excellent, very smooth cigar. It pairs well with scotch or bourbon.

These sticks are ok, but they have been hit and miss on the draw, mostly tight. Pretty stout but not as much flavor as I'd expect from CAO.

I very much enjoyed this smoke and intend to buy more. Smooth, rich flavor with a hint of sweetness. Burned evenly and slowly. Would love to see the same combination of tobacco in a bigger cigar.
