CAO Introduces the La Traviata Maduro
The end of summer, to most of us, is a huge bummer. No more backyard BBQs, trips to the beach, or family vacations. School is back in session, the sounds of Jimmy Buffett have muffled, and it's back to business. Normally, there's not much to look forward to.
But not this year. No, this year, summer is ending with a bang. CAO is finally releasing their CAO La Traviata with a Maduro wrapper. Due to hit stores early September, you definitely have something to look forward to.
CAO's La Traviata has been sky rocketing in popularity since it hit stores. The cigar pays homage to the old Havana style and offers consumers the ability to enjoy a high-end, beautifully constructed cigar at an extremely reasonable price. CAO places a restriction on the La Traviata that it ONLY be sold face-to-face at brick and mortars. This not only enhances the brand integrity but it keeps the social aspect of cigar smoking alive. Some of the best experiences I've had as a cigar smoker are sitting at my local store, Emerson's Cigars in Hampton Roads, VA, and shootin' the breeze with other stick lovers. Doesn't matter what your age, race, occupation, gender, or social status is. If you walk into a cigar store, you'll never meet a stranger.
The idea behind releasing the La Traviata with a Maduro wrapper came from the intense demand for this fantastic cigar with a deeper, richer flavor profile. I recently spoke with Matt DuFraine, CAO extraordinaire, who gave me an excellent play-by-play on his experience with the La Traviata Maduro:
"Upon initial examination, the cigar was solid, but not too hard with a gorgeous, shinny Maduro wrapper. Before even lighting up, you could smell the Ligero with a hint of nuttiness.
The first section has a strong element of chocolate intertwined with a rustic wood quality from the Maduro. Immediately I experienced a smooth, feather drawl with lots of smoke.
This cigar stayed consistent through the next section, but the strength grew as you got into the Ligero, adding a bit of spice. You could still detect chocolate and it was evident the Cameroon binder was coming into play by keeping that strong Nicaraguan and Dominican Ligero under control. Actually, it was here that I noticed how nice the aroma of the cigar was. You could pick out the features I described but it wasn't overwhelming.
The final part of the cigars might have been my favorite. Everything stayed amazingly consistent but there was no heavy aftertaste. A hint of leather emerged that wasn't overpowering and fit in nicely with the standing flavors. I was extremely impressed beginning to end."
As mentioned, the La Traviata Maduro hits stores early September. Be sure to look for it at Emerson's Cigars. Currently, Emerson's Cigars has five locations in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia which includes Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and Hampton. They also sell a huge selection of boutique brands, including CAO, on their website- www.EmersonsCigars.com.
