"Flathead V660 Carb.."

CAO has introduced the CAO Flathead in 2013, with a bold new full flavor and design. The name comes from the unique shape of the cigar, not only is the cigar box pressed, but the head is also flat. The wrapper is a dark, oily Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper and the blend is rife with Nicaraguan tobacco. The retro design is inspired by the muscle car engine and the lid of the box can be removed and used as wall art.

Cigar Origin
Honduras
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.

Wrapper Color
Maduro
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Maduro wrapper can go from dark coffee brown with a reddish tint to blackish brown (the latter also called Oscuro).
Wrapper
USA Connecticut Broadleaf
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Connecticut Broadleaf is grown in the United States' Connecticut Valley and is prized for its dark, oily, full flavored and aromatic characteristics. The plants are grown in full sun giving this cigar wrapper its characteristic sweetness. The Connecticut Broadleaf plant leaves are mainly processed as maduro tobacco. Today, Connecticut Broadleaf seeds are being grown in other countries besides the United States.
Binder
Ecuadorian Connecticut
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Filler
Nicaragua
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.

Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.
Manufacturer
General Cigars/ST Group

Questions & Answers

Ask

Bernard What is the difference between a box-pressed cigar and a regular cigar? What does it change?

Posted 5/24/2016

NeptuneCigar.com Aside from the shape it gives, the box pressed cigar is known to burn more even and longer than the regular round sectioned cigars. Some smokers feel that the box pressed shape adapts to the mouth better. With the compressed tobacco in a box pressed cigar, you may experience a fuller flavored smoke. Some smokers enjoy this, others may not as it is a personal preference.

Very flavorful cigar!

Great little cigar!

Michael B.09/16/2016About: CAO Flathead V770 Big Block 7" * 70

Cigars that are double the price can't stand up to this gem.

Undra Duran C.09/15/2016About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

A big cigar that performs well. It needs proper humidity or the burn gets real wacky and tastes bad. but under proper conditions, its great. Medium, lots of smoke. Feels great in the hand. Love the hard box press. Price point is on point.

Will V.09/14/2016About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

On the stronger side, this V660 is a very tightly constructed cigar. I did a punch cut, but had to go full cut to get a comfortable pull. Even burn, consistent flavour throughout to the last 1.5 inches. I did not want it to end. Will purchase in quantity in future.

Daniel N.09/03/2016About: CAO Flathead V770 Big Block 7" * 70

Good cigar

Barlow S.08/24/2016About: CAO Flathead V770 Big Block 7" * 70

A great smoke and one you can come back to and finish later.

Derek S.08/18/2016About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

Excellent Cigar...one of my favorites. Good from beginning to end.

Scott S.08/12/2016About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

I absolutely love this cigar. It just keeps showing up in my humidor

Arthur A07/24/2016About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

Burned a little quick for the size but flavorful, smooth and burned evenly. Now my favorite cigar. Perfect for golf course. Smoked 5 from a sampler and ordering a box now. Read about the inconsistencies in construction from 2 posters but mine seemed perfect. We'll see on the full box order.

Will V.09/14/2016About: CAO Flathead V554 Camshaft 5"1/2 * 54

Will get again. This brand overall is great. The wrap is solid, the draw on this one was perfect with a punch cut. Aroma robust.

Barlow S.08/24/2016About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

One of my favorites!

George G.07/24/2016About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

Yes i too found inconsistencies with size some thicker than others, but i really have to say this is by far the best cigar i have tasted based on price. I have to give it Best Bang for Buck it's tastes amazing and burns great. pick this cigar up and try it it's a must

Vinny R.07/18/2016About: CAO Flathead V554 Camshaft 5"1/2 * 54

Hands down my favorite cigar right now! Always consistent quality.

Richard L.07/18/2016About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

I bought a box of these in late 2015 and enjoyed them immensely. However the box that I purchased recently (June 2016) was filled with sticks that had a shockingly inconsistent density. About half of them were plugged and no amount of rotating has made them any better after a month. The weight of each cigar was very inconsistent in this batch. With some of the sticks weighing up to twice as much as others after confirming they were all set to a matching humidity of 68%. Perhaps I was unlucky but it seems to me these are not the same sticks I enjoyed Last year. This box seems to be hastily thrown together. Buyer beware of inconsistency on these sticks.

Hidehiko K.07/15/2016About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

It looks good and tastes good.

Joseph R.07/11/2016About: CAO Flathead V770 Big Block 7" * 70

Set aside some quality time to enjoy this fine cigar.

Joseph R.07/11/2016About: CAO Flathead V554 Camshaft 5"1/2 * 54

Another great flathead - good flavored throughout smoke.

Paul R.07/10/2016About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

Good cigar. Glad I ordered a box. Enjoyed the first one from start to finish. Good looking cigar. The draw was difficult in a few spots but I didn't have to relight it. I found it to be a smooth Ann even burning cigar.

Timothy R.06/30/2016About: CAO Flathead V770 Big Block 7" * 70

First time having the Flat Head from CAO, in typical CAO fashion it doesn't disappoint, plus it's HUGE, smoke that lasts for hours!

Andre O.06/28/2016About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

Love this smoke! A little difficult to cut though. Has a great flavor, the aroma is pleasant and inviting. I got a lot of compliments on the stick. Like a milder RP Decade.

Donald M.06/28/2016About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

Absolute great full bodied full flavor smoke. Consistent start to finish

Chris G.06/26/2016About: CAO Flathead V770 Big Block 7" * 70

I love a medium-full to full bodied cigars and I've gone through probably 15+ boxes of the 770s. Even went up to Neptune's Ft.L. store to meet the blender, earlier in the year and he's a nice guy. Flavor is tasty, with no harsh, or peaky spots. Sometimes they can be tightly rolled, but they usually open up. Same with the burn, being uneven on some sticks, but those quips are the vast exception to the many that I've smoked. The 770 can be a handful, but it's one of two, or three, of my everyday smokes and I generally smoke a cigar a day. Maybe not for the beginner, but I'm going on 22 years, so the 770 is what I like (for now.) Chris

Joseph R.06/08/2016About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

My new favorite

Grant H.06/04/2016About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

Very good indeed! Will certainly burn one of these again . . .

Marc S.05/31/2016About: CAO Flathead V554 Camshaft 5"1/2 * 54

As expected. Previously smoked the V660 and really enjoyed it. This V554 same heavy sweet flavor but I could actually finish it. By "sweet" I mean no bitterness but just enough pepper. A keeper.

mark j.05/30/2016About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

Great cigar, my first one of these series. Burned even, aroma was excellent, little difficult to cut the end perfectly and took a couple of tries to get correct. Little challenging on keeping lit but overall a nice cigar.

Stephen G.05/19/2016About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

Tasty smoke!

Stephen G.05/19/2016About: CAO Flathead V554 Camshaft 5"1/2 * 54

By far, one of the best smokes I've had.

John R.05/11/2016About: CAO Flathead V770 Big Block 7" * 70

I have not had a CAO in a long time, this was a great full bodied cigar it did break up at the end, maybe because I was trying to make the square cigar round. So probably my fault. It's a cigar that catches up with you and you say wow, where did that come from. Give it a try.

Elliott T.05/01/2016About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

Bold and full smoke for big smokers like me.

Grant W.04/05/2016About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

Wow. This is hands down the best cigar I've ever had for the money! Smooth and creamy dark chocolate secondary notes throughout the entire cigar. Just enough spice to compliment the rest of the flavors without ever becoming harsh or overpowering. This has already become a favorite in my humidor!

Jesus A.03/24/2016About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

Excellent smoke

Jesus A.03/24/2016About: CAO Flathead V554 Camshaft 5"1/2 * 54

Excellent smoke. One of my favorite cigars

Giovanni G.03/07/2016About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

I have to say I really didn't enjoy this cigar as much as I thought I would. But that's just me. Other buddies of mine loved it. Overall wasn't a bad smoke, just wasn't for me

Wayne02/24/2016About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

Definitely a favorite! One of the best tasting cigar I've had. If you like a smoke that is full of flavor, this is it. It starts a little mild for my taste but 3/4 to the end is the best! Always hate to see the end of it.

Michael Petrella12/31/2015About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

Very tasty.

Curtis H.12/24/2015About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

A very "heavy" cigar to be enjoyed after a full meal. I'm not a huge fan of the box press, and I've smoked cigars with better aroma. All in all, a good cigar, but not one that belongs near the top of my list though it scored number 3 on CA's list of top cigars this year. Like most things, It's all a matter of personal taste. The concept of this cigar is a bit gimmicky. When I finish the box, there are others I would purchase before this one. Maybe my opinion will change later on as this is the first one I've tried.

Steve B.12/17/2015About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

nice cigar handed a few to golf biddies they loved them

Jason M.11/16/2015About: CAO Flathead V642 Piston 6"1/2 * 42

Not a bad price-point for a uniquely presented, decent-tasting stick...

anthony g.11/12/2015About: CAO Flathead V770 Big Block 7" * 70

i asked santa to bring me a box of these wow what a great smoke new to the fuller body cigars but what a great cigar to have on hand .i love to share cigars with friend a nice craft beer goes great with this cigar .

james w.09/01/2015About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

Good smoke after a steak dinner

David M.08/02/2015About: CAO Flathead V554 Camshaft 5"1/2 * 54

Rookie to cigar smoking but the draw & taste caught my attention. I will definitely order again

Adam S.07/14/2015About: CAO Flathead V642 Piston 6"1/2 * 42

If you are fan of Connecticut Broadleaf, you need to try the Flathead by CAO. With its rich, dark wrapper, box press and retro styling, the cigar is quite appealing to look at. It is equally appealing to smoke. This stick is very flavorful yet not overbearing. It is loaded with notes of leather, wood and espresso with a little bit of nutmeg on the finish. The draw tends to be a bit firm (at least with this vitola) but provides plenty of smoke. It is not the most complex smoke on earth and I couldn't detect a whole lot of changes from the first third through the second, but I did notice a little more strength and spice during the final third. It burns evenly and is well constructed. All in all, it is a winner! Cheers.

Jesse H.07/09/2015About: CAO Flathead V770 Big Block 7" * 70

Wow! This stogie was easily one of the best I've had in terms of value for the money...Flawless construction, great draw & burn, and very tasty.

Jeffery P.06/22/2015About: CAO Flathead V554 Camshaft 5"1/2 * 54

Not my favorite but still good

Chris M.04/30/2015About: CAO Flathead V770 Big Block 7" * 70

Very nice and affordable smoke!

erik h.03/25/2015About: CAO Flathead V770 Big Block 7" * 70

This is a 5 star stick. What more can I say. Even burn,, love the box press. I look good smoking it.its a good 2 hour smoke. And smokes from end to end. Holding up its flavor with out any bitterness. Good with coffee, a long drive or out fishing.

Gilles Bourret11/01/2014About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

A real good one out for the non "all-star" brands. I mean CAO is big, but not a top-of-the-shelf-connaisseur brand. Good everyday punchy smoke. Amazing draw and sublime taste.

Andre W.10/09/2014About: CAO Flathead V770 Big Block 7" * 70

This is a wonderful cigar, I suggest trying the Flathead...

ChefJeff09/04/2014About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

Great Cigar. A real sleeper at the shop where I buy. Will add a box to my humidor very soon.

Youri A.08/10/2014About: CAO Flathead V554 Camshaft 5"1/2 * 54

Well balanced, sweet. Taste, feel and look of this one is really good. Love it. Will buy it again.
