The CAO Black Bengal is on the agenda for tonight. This limited edition cigar is part of the black line which is considered by CAO to be their cream of the crop. They only use well aged top tier tobaccos for this small batch line. The Bengal is the 6" x 50 size (Toro) and takes about an hour plus to smoke. The specific tobacco makeup of this cigar is a well guarded secret. The boxes are hand painted and hand numbered and each cigar is wrapped in cedar. Now onto smoking the cigar itself, it has a creamy taste with a definate white pepper flavour that is unmistakably present on each draw. The smoke is light and smells of cedar which makes for a pleasing aroma for everyone in the area, a definate crowd pleaser. The strength is mild to medium. This is my first CAO Black and I have several more in the humidor which I will enjoy and compare in a later blog. The price point for these is $4 to $8 each which is steal for such a limited edition cigar.
