Initial Thoughts:
The CAO Pilon lit with a great taste. The flavor was smooth yet complex. I know it's a small thing, but the wrapper had no thick veins, and I could tell this cigar was made really well.
As I finished the first 1/3 of the cigar, I noticed how well the mild flavors blended together. At the halfway mark, the CAO Pilon remained very consistent, no surprises, no drops in construction quality.

Final Thoughts:
This cigar was impressive. The burn was consistent and even, the ash was dense enough to stick around until I knocked it off, and the draw was never too tight or too loose. I would smoke the CAO Pilon again, but it's not one I'd rave about.
