CAO Nasty Nutcracker is a tweaked version of the popular CAO Gold Label line, using different golden shade tobacco throughout the cigar, a different binder and wrapper, and a spicier filler featuring stronger ligeros. Only 2000 boxes made in 2014.

Review:

For the second year in a row, CAO Cigars has released a pair of limited edition Christmas season themed cigars. This year’s releases are the CAO Nasty Nutcracker and CAO Rabid Reindeer. The series made its debut in 2013 with the CAO Angry Santa and CAO Evil Snowman. What is differentiates this series is they are modifications of existing CAO releases. The modifications are meant to be edgier cigars both in packaging and their smoking style. Today, we take a closer look at the CAO Nasty Nutcracker. This is a modification of the long-time popular CAO Gold cigar. Overall I have found these releases to be interesting and enjoyable twists to these tried and true CAO brands – and I have put the CAO Nasty Nutcracker into this category. (CigarCoop.com)
