CAO Flathead 450 Sparkplug - Cigar Review

CAO Flathead 450 Sparkplug
4 x 50 Petite Robusto
Box Press
Closed (Pig-tail) Foot
Flat Cap
NOTES:
A band that is the color-wheel equivalent of asparagus urine's scent atop a top-leaf of full city roasted java beans with darker-yet marblings. Goodly toothy with minimal veins and tight seams which holdeth fast. A tick stiff, but even and satiating draw.

Straight-forward and black pepper-led quite piquant delivery of espresso and dark chocolate squares notes, on a somewhat fruity and sarsaparilla lilted dark compost under-belly. At times received in a tick of a hollow, linear fashion. Lays dryly on the palate and doth gets a bit throaty, settling in the chest and growing hair there.

This review took ya twenty-four seconds to read, if'n yer a college graduate*.

"Inspired by hot rods and pin-up girls, CAO Flathead is a box pressed collection that hits on all cylinders. Hand-shaped to deliver a striking flat top, the cigar features a brawny Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper and a blend that’s heavy on Nicaraguan leaf. Its frontmarks are named for engine parts, but the tribute to muscle cars doesn’t end there. Flathead gives a nod to the muscle car engine, with a lid that’s easily removed and used as wall art. There’s also a collectible, pin-up girl flysheet that’s enclosed in the box." - CAO Website.

"It's sold in individual boxes that too are the color-wheel equivalent of asparagus urine's scent. Looks all automotive and whatnot." - Me
