CAO Gold Robusto

Welcome to the forums. I am a CAO junkie. I don't think you can get many better cigars for the price. The sour feet taste you experienced is a common problem when you start smoking cigars. I used to say that I wished I was wealthy enough to only smoke the first couple of inches of a cigar and then throw it away. I believe that this is something Winston Churchill did. Anyway, the usual cause of sour feet taste is smoking too fast. Read some of the old hands on the forums reviews. Kuzi for example can make a robusto last 1.5 hours. Not all of us can match that slow of a burn, but my advice would.be to smoke slowly. Set the gar down, reflect on the day, talk to your friend, etc. Then take another puff and repeat This will cut down or eliminate the sour feet taste until only the nub remains.

Thanks for the advice and the welcome. ) I will let the second one sit for a little while before trying it. Haven't really timed my smoking other than it takes me about 30 minutes to smoke an AF Breva.

I think bitter flavors can come through more easily on mild smokes too. Could be from smoking a little quick or a hot light. But I just had a Paul Gamirian, supposedly A pretty good mild smoke, that was just gross and bitter almost the whole way down, except for a spot in the middle. Sometimes, you just get a bad cigar.
