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.
Strength

Full
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.
Rolled by
Handmade
Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.
Manufacturer
General Cigars/ST Group
General Cigar Company manufactures premium cigars in several factories located in the Dominican Republic, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Founded by Edgar Cullman, Sr. in 1960, the company experienced incredible success with their Macanudo brand. After a series of acquisitions throughout the years that made General Cigars one of the largest cigar manufacturers in the world, the company merged with Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG) in 2010.

Virginia Owen My husband has tried and liked the flathead cigars, but doesn't buy a whole box because he doesn't smoke cigars all the time. Because hes a mechanic he'd like to buy an empty box to keep and show off. Do u sell the empty boxes or know where I can find them?

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.

JOEL G.05/06/2019About: CAO Flathead V770 Big Block 7" * 70

The deep rich brown maduro wrapper brings out this cigar's great taste. By being box pressed, the ring is not as bulky as other 70 inch cigars.

Shannon R.04/28/2019About: CAO Flathead V642 Piston 6"1/2 * 42

Right

04/25/2019About: CAO Flathead V770 Big Block 7" * 70

A must have

Carnell W.04/06/2019About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

Excellent cigar and never disappoints. Fits my preference of a large gauge smoke.

Tobias T.03/27/2019About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

Extremely good cigar from a price point of view. 1 1/2 - 2 hour smoke so you need time for this one.

Luke D.03/22/2019About: CAO Flathead V554 Camshaft 5"1/2 * 54

i like this one best out of the flathead family. strong and tasty.

Mike N.03/08/2019About: CAO Flathead V770 Big Block 7" * 70

Excellent cigar. Consistent burn, with long ash to keep the flavor smooth. This one will be a regular in my humi

Ivon N.03/06/2019About: CAO Flathead V554 Camshaft 5"1/2 * 54

A pleasant surprise. This was an effortless cigar to enjoy. Not strong in nicotine but definitely in the upper limit in boldness (specially for a new smoker). Generous amount of smoke. Clear transitions. I tasted dark espresso, bitter cocoa even some roasted nuts at the end. I recommend "power thru it" even if it seems full flavored. You won't be disappointed.

I love the Flathead 660 they are my everyday, daily special! I haven’t found anybody that can beat Neptunes prices. Check it out, I did!

Fine cigar, a lot of smoke ????

Nice smoke,awesome box.

Devin C.02/17/2019About: CAO Flathead V642 Piston 6"1/2 * 42

Great cigar. Burn time was a little over an hour. Had to touch it up right after the first 3rd but other than that it burned pretty good. Dark chocolate and a little butter and cream. I'm grabbing a box

justin F.01/24/2019About: CAO Flathead V554 Camshaft 5"1/2 * 54

A little bit of a disappointment when compared to the awesome flavor of the 660. Still a good mix and blend but just doesn't pack the same punch. Still a good value.

derrick b.01/12/2019About: CAO Flathead V642 Piston 6"1/2 * 42

Wow great cigar. Neptune recommended to me when I was wanting a smaller gauge awesome taste burn etc. highly recommend

wonderful chocolate & pepper smoke for the price.

Ronnie J.12/26/2018About: CAO Flathead V554 Camshaft 5"1/2 * 54

Enjoyed this one better than the 660.

Lance H.12/20/2018About: CAO Flathead V642 Piston 6"1/2 * 42

Sweet stick. I like the way it feels in the hand. A bit too long without much complexity or transitions leads to a somewhat (mildly) cloying experience though.

Louis D.12/11/2018About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

Great smoke but not as consistent as I would like.

Great cigar

Guy R.11/16/2018About: CAO Flathead V770 Big Block 7" * 70

Great smoke from tart to finish. Make sure you allocate at least 4 hours for this cigar. Perfect for a round of golf

Josue M.11/12/2018About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

Smoking this cigar is like eating candy.

Very good cigar. Love the shape and smooth draw

David B.10/05/2018About: CAO Flathead V554 Camshaft 5"1/2 * 54

Nice cigar but a little too harsh and strong for my taste, no sweetness experienced.... draw could of been a little more restrictive, If you like a strong wood and pepper this may be for you... I will try a 3rd and if my review changes I will update!!!!

Geoffrey G.10/04/2018About: CAO Flathead V554 Camshaft 5"1/2 * 54

An excellent cigar by CAO, I was searching for a slightly cheaper filler cigar for my humidor but not wanted one that I could still really enjoy. I have loved most CAO maduros that I have tried and this one easily makes it on the list of favorite CAO cigars. I will absolutely be getting more in the future as this is probably 1st or 2nd on my list of cigars to enter and leave my humidor the fastest.

David D.09/20/2018About: CAO Flathead V770 Big Block 7" * 70

Completely solid smoke. The wrap tends to be a little tight but a minor problem at best. Great aroma, and taste leans on the side of a little chocolate with some pepper notes but not overboard.

Kevin .09/07/2018About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

Very hard to draw at first doesn’t get better until halfway through.

I had smoked a couple of these and was impressed, so I purchased a box. 554’s never disappoint in any regard. And Neptune has THE BEST price, they cannot be found for less.

Christian K.08/11/2018About: CAO Flathead V770 Big Block 7" * 70

Absolutely one of my favorite cigars, I smoke these for around three hours. Lots of dark creamy raisin and cocoa flavor

Used to the box pressed...these seemed half way between round and box pressed...box not sealed? Still fine. Enjoyed!

Cocoa, sweet tobacco, mild to medium. Milk chocolate in the middle. Wood cedar, slight pepper finish. Be prepared for a long lasting encounter.

Mark G.04/03/2018About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

A solid box-pressed beauty, with a beautiful maduro wrapper. For me the taste profile ranges from medium to low full without harshness. Consistent chocolate and coffee notes in a very satisfying one hour plus smoke.

michael P.03/27/2018About: CAO Flathead V554 Camshaft 5"1/2 * 54

For all you car fanatics out there this cigar is for you. This cigar's name was inspired by the Flathead engines that are commonly found in older model type hot rods. This cigar has a dark black chocolate oily, box pressed Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper with an Ecuadorian Connecticut binder and a Nicaraguan filler. It has a nice dark chocolate aroma with hints of sweet chocolate in the background and it is constructed very well with a nice oily dark wrapper with minimal veins. I found this cigar to have a good even burn with a good draw to it. Once I got into the first part of the cigar I start getting hints of chocolate with a slight hint of leather to it. I enjoyed the sweet notes of caramel with a bit of pepper in the background. Overall this is a great smoke to enjoy especially on race day. So all you race fans, start your engines and come on over to your nearest Neptune cigars superstore and pick one up while the race season is still on. Enjoy and happy smokin'!

Andrew G.03/12/2018About: CAO Flathead V770 Big Block 7" * 70

Alan C.02/08/2018About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

After getting on the list of AF - I went ahead and got a box of these. Powerful long wonderful smoke. Recommend you try a few to see if this is your thing before you commit to a box.

David P.01/30/2018About: CAO Flathead V770 Big Block 7" * 70

Holy cow this thing is huge. Its was definitely worth the money. The taste is pretty sweet most of the way through. Super creamy. Bits of spice further down. 2-2.5 hour smoke. DO NOT TRY SMOKING THIS WITH ANY AIR MOVEMENT. Big cigars typically lead to a terrible burn and this is no exception

Arthur V.12/23/2017About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

This was was an ok cigar for me because it just would not deliver the right amont of smoke to enjoy it, almost everything else was ok but if it aint drawing your up the creek.

marcmoltke12/20/2017About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

highly recommend this cigar to anyone! new or experience smoker!

Andy J.12/12/2017About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

This is my favorite cigar by far. Great taste to me. I have notes of Creamy Chocolate almost like a truffle. Strong. Has a great taste on the lips and tongue. It's great to save the last bit to just chew on for later enjoyment or times you can't smoke.

Dave F.12/08/2017About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

Great Price! Fast Shipping! Awesome cigars

David G.11/27/2017About: CAO Flathead V642 Piston 6"1/2 * 42

I have never had a CAO Flathead I didn’t like. Rich, chocolate/coffee flavors with plenty of smoke and great burn line. Love the 642 size. Great line of cigars, and I love the theme.

Troy J.11/25/2017About: CAO Flathead V554 Camshaft 5"1/2 * 54

This is a full bodied stick, very powerful, a little harsh even in the beginning. My stick mellowed out as the cigar went on, and has rich dark flavors.

Imposantes Format Guter Geschmack schöne Aromen

Benjamin M.11/20/2017About: CAO Flathead V770 Big Block 7" * 70

This may be the largest cigar I've ever smoked. The size is uncanny and emphasized by the box press. I'd actually say it is a little too big, but if you're looking for a 2hr+ smoke, this is easily a good choice. The aroma was sweet and seductive the whole way through, almost like a light incense. The flavor was smooth and well balanced at least until the midpoint, at which point it started to ramp up in harshness -- that's over an hour in, so you get your money's worth on half alone. I gave up as it was getting down to the nub, and getting a bit harsher, but overall I was pretty impressed considering the size and also the low cost, coupled with the consistency and sweetness. Would stock 1-2 for long days around the deck. The others like the 660 and smaller sizes are more manageable day to day, for sure.

Marwan A.11/18/2017About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

Shaun R.10/24/2017About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

There's a reason this one was ranked #3 in 2016 by Cigar Aficionado. Never had a bad one of these. Powerful but smooth smoke. Filled with heavy tobacco, coffee, and dark choc flavors. Also a long lasting smoke - about 1hr 30+min. One of my favorites. Bought a box... and comes out to $5-6 a stick. Great value for this type of quality.

James S.10/06/2017About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

andrew k.09/18/2017About: Cigar Aficionado Top Cigars of 2015, 14-cigar Sampler

This AF Don Carlos Belicoso has been perfect in my humi for 9 days. Made a little deeper cut this time. Really enjoyed the early draws with sweetness and balanced fruitiness. Like the flavor very much - no sourness at this point. Tastes very good, even more delicious and layered than the enjoyable EPC elite oscuro finished earlier. Is it just me, on a perfect 71 calm afternoon home after a 26 hour odyssey to watch my favorite team? Still an okay draw, a touch tight, and would like more than the moderate amount of drawn smoke. Yummy fruit toying with light spices in first third. Smoke production improves nicely in the second third and Don Carlos starts to show a small bit of the sourness, but sweet and sour in layers and still very tasty. Broke the wrapper trying to undo the band. Still happy about this cigar into the center. Sourness grows in the final third and became too dominant for a spell, but more balanced good flavor came back at the end. Dependable burn throughout and no touchups needed. Ended with good smoke and pleasant flavors. I do like this cigar a lot and enjoyed it to the end, which was definitely not the case my first time. Looking forward to another; perhaps I simply had a rare bad stick from this line the first time.

Benjamin M.09/10/2017About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

My opinion has improved after I let the 2nd one sit in my humidor for 6+ months. This is a big stick (big!) with a very smooth, creamy flavor -- but it punches its weight in strength, as there is a megaton of tobacco in this size. It's got a mild, refined flavor (kind of Oliva-like) and retains it all the way through the stick, which as a long burn time. I triple-punched the huge cap and had no draw issues -- it was open and clean. Given the price, I can recommend stocking a few.

thomas w.08/30/2017About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

Great after dinner/evening cigar. Great for relaxing in the evening.

I used a punch cut for this one due to the ring size, which worked wonderfully. The prelight draw was easy, in fact, easier than I typical like. The aroma was of dark chocolate and coffee with sweet fruit. The first third was surprisingly smooth and tasty of the flavors I expected, although, due to the color of the wrapper, I thought I'd get some pepper, but that didn't materialize. The draw produced a lot of densely white smoke and the burn was impeccable. The 2nd third continued with delicious and near creamy chocolate and added cinnamon. The final third added hints of Bing cherries and vanilla. It didn't require any maintenance and was right on queue with being a premium cigar! Dang- what a yummy smoke! Long ashes to y'all!

Norlan L.07/18/2017About: CAO Flathead V642 Piston 6"1/2 * 42

great construction on this 42 ring gauge version of the flathead. This series is one of the more unique blends from CAO. Definitely a must try.

really am enjoying this cigar; smoking it right now (figuratively- it's in my car's ashtray "waiting" for me;

Jeff H.06/29/2017About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

One of the best values out there. Premium cigar taste without the high cost! Great burn time. Hefty feel with great muscle car label. Taste of coffee, cocoa, sweet earth and goes well with coffee, single malt scotch, or bourbon.

Everything its supposed to be. Good flavor, good draw, enjoyable stick.

Erik N.03/16/2017About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

This cigar was just too large for me. Then I'd press did not really make it smoke like a smaller stick. I think I would like to try some of the smaller offerings. I used a triple punch pattern to get the draw opened up for the large ring gauge. Although the cold draw seemed fairly open, I was not able to actually draw large amunts of smoke and had multiple burn issues. If I had to guess, I would say there were a lot of voids in the binder and wrapper that were allowing air in to affect smoke production. That being said, when I did get full draws, it was very pleasant. Creamy, smooth, and a sweet lip finish. I could have really enjoyed this stick but gave up Galway through due to burn problems.

Tim F.02/23/2017About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

Very good cigar and very big cigar. Would recommend if you enjoy a cigar with a very big gauge.

good cigar; good choice; liked it

Lord P.02/06/2017About: CAO Flathead V642 Piston 6"1/2 * 42

I was initially attracted to this cigar because it's a Lonsdale - something that you don't see much any more. I was also attracted to the deco style graphics - one of the things that always impresses me about CAO cigars. This cigar has a beautiful, box press, dark wrapper, firm pack, and a wonderful pre-light aroma. The flavor profile is that of sweet leathery tobacco with notes of coffee, toast and roasted chestnuts. The first few draws had a sharp acidic pungency, but it mellowed quickly into the main flavor profile. For it's smaller ring gauge, I was a surprised surprisingly slow burner, perhaps due to the tight pack and a slightly firm draw. Right out of the gate, I had a small burn problem with it wanting to canoe. A quick touch-up solved it and it burned like a champ the rest of the way. On the strength-o-meter, I give it a solid medium. The smoke had a wonderful full body to it that you could practically chew. Overall: This is a must-try cigar! I will definitely be ordering more soon. Pairing notes: The thick, sweet, leathery, nutty flavors in this cigar need to be accompanied by something warm and bold. Try it with your favorite spiced rum or a well aged tequila.

Hans N.01/30/2017About: CAO Flathead V554 Camshaft 5"1/2 * 54

Todd S.01/29/2017About: CAO Flathead V770 Big Block 7" * 70

Todd S.01/28/2017About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

Nice cigar, good flavor, burn is nice. Nice in the afternoon great smoke.

WT H.01/02/2017About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

Normally I avoid gimmicky marketing like the plague but this stick has received numerous top 25 rankings so I threw caution to the wind. First and foremost this is one hoss of a cigar. In fact, in certain company you might have to endure the off hand comment that, perhaps, you are making up for shortcomings in other areas ;-). To which, of course, you simply quote Freud that sometimes and in this instance in particular a cigar is just a cigar. Construction and feel are impeccable. Lots of great leather, spices and chocolate. It is easy to understand why this smoke continues to impress those who rate it. At the risk of more puns I found it to be a bit much in the size department for me and hard to finish in one sitting. Nonetheless, all of the hoopla is well warranted and it will always be an interesting conversation piece... for one reason or another. 93

John M.12/30/2016About: CAO Flathead V770 Big Block 7" * 70

Excellent big smoke. I don't usually like such monsters but this was very good indeed.

Kirt O.12/13/2016About: CAO Flathead V770 Big Block 7" * 70

A very big smoke. One of these bad boys and a tall glass of whiskey are good for 90 minutes plus. Can be a little tough to draw at first as these are tight. A great smoke

Vincent R.11/28/2016About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

George U.11/16/2016About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

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.

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.

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.

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.

H07/15/2016About: CAO Flathead V660 Carb 6" * 60

It looks good and tastes good.

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

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

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

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.

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
