CAO Brazilia

[drawingpro]

I've had this cigar in my humidor for a few weeks and I decided to try it. First I noticed a high quality construction of this cigar. The particular one I smoked was the Samba, a 6 1/4X54. When I cut it, it had a nice crispy, but not dry firmness. The flavor was consistant throughout the cigar. It was a strong, yet not overpowering flavor. The draw seemed a bit tight at first, but it made for a cool burning cigar. It had a spicy flavor that reminded me of the Padron 6000 that I had the week before. I'm still fairly new to cigars and I'm trying a different one every week, but this is the first one that I felt the need to write about. I'm eager to hear everyone else's opinion about these.

Love em, but then again I'm a CAO WHORE.

I enjoyed this one, but I did not find it remarkable in any way, almost boring.

CAO do a lot of good quality sticks, but not a lot of great ones in my opinion. The Brazillia is better than a lot of their other offerings though.

X2 mate
I have tried a couple of CAO's and they just don't do it for me at all...

The Gol is actually one of my regular smokes. They need a bit of age on them but all in all I like them enough to stock them in the Tower of Power.

How much age are you talking? A few months or a year or more?

I have been thinking of picking a few of these up.

I just tried a CAO Brazilia Samba. All that i can say is WOW!!! It had an excellent draw, and an incredible taste. I will definatly be smoking these again.

I torched this badboy yesterday evening!

6 X 96 Trumpet from the Artistry of Champions set
Not bad at all, surprisingly, it got really good at about half way, where the ring guage is about equal to a GOL!

Brazilia are a favorite of mine also, especially the Sambas.

I do too like the Brazillia. Smooth, not harsh.
When ever there is a deal on these I pick them up.
The last time CI had a smoking Joe deal on them was Christmas Day!.....Very very sneaky.

Before purchasing them I did a profile search on Rod, and at that time he liked them as well. So we are in good company.

Wow Dennis, that looks like one powerful smoke. I love the Brazillia line, I just bought a box of their Box Pressed robustos (Gol?).
Boomer, give them about 6 months or at least 4 so they take the edge off.

Wow Dennis, that looks like one powerful smoke.

I thought that also, but it really seemed mild until the halfway point. The first half had a low smoke volume. damn thing burned razor straight also, THAT was a surprise... I figured I'd be touching up all the way down!

I actually have a couple of those artistry of champions set and was wondering if i should break into one. Are they actually a good smoke? Also, how was the bratalia?

Flavor profile is right there with the regular Brazilia vitolas. Aside from the low smoke output in the first half, it was not a bad cigar, but nothing spectacular. The Brazilia trumpet is the only one I've smoked, so far, but that Bratalia will be catching fire soon. :whistling:
