While CAO is one of my favorite brands, it's been awhile since I've smoked an Italia. MX2's or Flatheads are my usual go-to sticks from CAO but I got this one in sample pack and tried it out. It's got a bit of a mild spicy flavor. The tobacco is from the Benevento region of Italy, hence the name. It paired well with a Victoria beer and a 70-degree afternoon on the back patio. My only regret was not smoking it with an Italian beer since I had a Peroni in the fridge. I smoked it down to about an inch left and I didn't notice any acrid after taste when it got down to the nub. I'll definitely look for these. It's a worthy stick. A 5-pack retails for around $30 so the Italia is a great value as well.
