You know I can’t resist getting one more contest in! CAO‘s Flathead line has been a favorite of mine since they came out, and I thought it was great, although a bit strange, that the V660 Carb got the number three spot on Cigar Aficionado’s top 25 of 2015. While I like them all, I think the V554 or V450 are a bit more to my liking, it’s awesome that they get the recognition they deserve for this blend. Rick Rodriguez is a great guy, with some great stories, and nailed it with the Flathead blend in my humble opinion. This year they added a motorcycle theme to the Flathead line with the Steel Horse Apehanger and Bullneck, with two major differences, these are offered in the round as opposed to being severely box pressed, and they have a Connecticut Habano Osciuro wrapper as opposed to the Connecticut Broadleaf of the original line. I dig the Steel Horse just about as much as the box pressed line, which is why I held on to this box of Steel Horse Apehanger for a special Happy New Year giveaway! The Apehanger is 5½” x 58, has the aforementioned Connecticut Habano Oscuro wrapper, a Brazilian Arapiraca binder and Honduran, Nicaraguan, and Dominican long-fillers. This is a box of 18 cigars, that still have the distinctive flat head, which in my experience is best handled with a large diameter bullet punch. Thank you, once again, to Victoria at General Cigar Co. for coming up big with this one!
The rules are the same as always, leave a comment to enter. If you won in the 12 Spectacular Days of Cigar Giveaways, please give everyone else a chance. You must be over 18 to win. I will select a winner at random on Sunday, January 3, 2016, so there’s plenty of time to sober up after New Years Eve and type a comment!
Thank you all for helping me through 2015, and I wish you all a prosperous and healthy 2016!
Until 2016,

Love the CAO’s especially the Amazon Basin. Victoria and General continue to impress. Thanks to all and happy New Year.

Those look like incredible smokes!!
As a biker who once rode with ape hangers , these would be perfect for me. Keep up the good work……..Danbo
My only experience with the Flathead series is the Sparkplug. I’ve avoided the larger RGs just as a matter of personal preference, but would not be adverse to having a box of these in my coolerdor !!!
And, Craig, there is nothing humble about your opinion !!! Remember that it ain’t bragging if you can back it up !!!
Enjoy your site even though I don’t comment a lot. I hope you have a great start to the new year!
Big fan of the Flatheads. The Steel Horse is definitely well-made and great flavored cigar.
CAO makes some really good cigars. The ones I soked have always satisfied. I haven’t tried these, but I’m eager to do so.
Awesome giveaway!!
Never had the pleasure but dying to try them
I would love to try em but can’t find them at any B&M in my area. 🙁
