So I bought one of these last year just to hit free shipping on an order and totally forgot about I had it. I used to like CAO in the early days of smoking but don't really care for them much anymore. Well, I am in the process of smoking this one and damn it is really good. Anyone else try these? I want more and I can't found them for sale online anywhere!

Never, but I do dig the "band."
It's not a real hobby unless it interferes with your work.

I have one I was gifted at an event last month. Heard they're pretty good, but they're definitely harder to come by now. They claim one of the leaves (wrapper?) is grown so deep in the Amazon that they have to transport it up the river by boat to get it to civilization. And supposedly they only harvest it every three years or so. CAO's master blender Rick Rodriguez told me the band is made from tightly rolled leaf scrap, and while it could technically be smoked, he recommended removing it.

I've been kicking myself for not buying these when they were available. Now they are either out of stock or selling online for stupid high prices. I'm hoping they'll release it again sometime soon.

yeah I am kicking myself now for not buying more when they were available last year. I took of the "band" because I figured it was not meant to be smoked. I read that they need a few months of rest...and mine had about 4 months on it. Definitely a great smoke that unfortunately I may not get the chance to smoke again

I enjoyed the one I smoked. I burned right through the band and nubed it.

I saw a partial box at my local B&M last time I was there, I can get prices for you if you're interested.
