CAO STOKK | CIGAR REVIEW

NOVEMBER 2, 2025 - PHIL KURUT, COMEDY - CIGARS - MUSIC

CAO STOKK BELICOSO (6 1/2 x 52)

WRAPPER: USA BROADLEAF

BINDER: NICARAGUA

FILLER: DOMINICAN ANDULLO, CYPRIAN LATAKIA, HONDURAS

A smooth draw and generous smoke output introduces Stokk quite nicely. Spice hits squarely up front without being overwhelming. Touches of cardamom sneak in and out while an undertone of sugary sweetness forms a thin, soft blanket around the entire palate. Nice.

The finish is fairly light with coffee and dark chocolate.

Excellent smoke output, and ash hangs on tight to a straight burn.

Dark and milk chocolate dance around the palate. Spice lightly settles in.

I drifted over to CAO’s website and watched the Stokk video. The voiceover and music gave it an action movie feel while the visual conjured more of a viking drama plot. Not sure if it’s something I would see in a theater or wait for it to stream. All I know is the lead actor would definitely be roided up but give all the credit to hard work and a diet of oatmeal, brown rice, broccoli, and grilled chicken.

This particular Stokk seemed a bit light on Latakia, but maybe it was cutting for the next movie.

SMOKE TIME: 1 hr. 46 mins.

RATING: 3.25 / 4 - Hard work and oatmeal.
