I like those small punches most of the time. I know people have their style that they’re comfortable with, I’m just joining the conversation with that remark. I’ve smoked about 10 of these and I love them. Recently I got a fiver of the V770 Big Block and they are resting in an acrylic jar with a snap lid and a piece of Spanish Cedar. Going to let them nap a good long while. I see this video is 5 years old, so still going strong. Peace to you and all reading this.
I'm a fan of these as well and I do use the multi punch method for them. I am not big on the fat cigars but this being a box press it makes the 60 gauge easier to deal with. I seem to pick up the same notes you do and I remember when these first came out I was an instant fan and started buying them up when I saw a good price so now I have a good batch with some age and I can tell you they just get better, the earthy notes settle down a bit and the others flavors get a little stronger. Nice review
Bought one of these to try and still have yet to smoke it. But I heard they were like one of the top cigars for a certain year not too long ago. So I'm seasoning my humidor right now to age it and enjoy it here soon. Thanks for the review!
The Flathead 660 is a top notch cigar. CAO is just a fine brand. Their BX3 line is maybe just a bit better, IMO, to the Flathead. The Consigilair is another good line they carry, as are the Extreme's
I like CAO quite a bit, got stuck with 3 boxes of the amazon basin 2 years ago, but thats a great one to have too many of. Ive never tried a punch, but some do. I tend to use a V cut or a guillotine. I tried one of the CAO 770's a while back, that was alot like trying to fit a baseball bat into my pie hole.....I dont care for bigger ring guages. I like 48-52. I smoke alot of 54s, but I dont like them much bigger. There didnt seem to be many transitions with this smoke for me, the flavor was the same all the way to the bottom. Thanks for the review. Try the CAO amazon basin, or the anaconda, both are amazing sticks. Not trying to pimp out my channel but I did a humi tour a few months ago, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ICXCV6XDoRE.html if your interested.
