Love from the very first puff...

[dwoodward]

Nubbed a Cigar last night. I rarely smoke a cigar past an inch from the end. But this cigar was just amazing.

Anyone else have a special place for this rich lovely?

I didn't want it to end! My first Brazilia, I am officially a fan! :dr

[Kreth]

Brazilias are probably my favorite CAO stick. The Black and VR are pretty tasty, too.

Nice, CAO Italia was my first "real" cigar. I haven't smoke a CAO ever since then (it wasn't bad, just never care/thought about it), I think I need to revisit :)

[Emjaysmash]

I'm not a big CAO fan, but my best friend absolutely LOVES these.

[neoflex]

These used to be a part of my regular rotation. Thanks for the post. Reminds me I need to start smoking these more often as I rarely ever revisit them. My favorite vitolas are the Gol and the Box Press. Great sticks that won't break the bank.

[maninblack]

The Brazilia's are great smokes fo sho. Probably one of CAO's finest, but I think the La Traviata's are the best.

[cigarmonkel]

i'm the same i very rarely will nub a cigar and will put it down with about an inch left but i had a CAO Criollo awhile back and nubbed it! Something about CAO's.. :hm:hm

I didn't like it. If I have anymore perhaps I will find a special place for them. Like in a 5 finger bag within a box with your addy on it. I'll be in touch if I bump into any in the humi.

[BigCat]

These are a staple in my rotation - I'll be picking up another box soon because I'm getting low.

[ODLS1]

Hmm. I should try one. I've looked at them but that's about as far as I got. I really like the MX2s, and did not like the CAO America series, which most other people say is pretty bad as well.

[Bunker]

I smoked a lot of CX2's before my tastes moved on the more full bodied smokes (plus the Robustos were dirt cheap at FS for along time).

I really haven't ventured back since but the Brazil does look interesting.

[Dave128]

I enjoy smoking MX2s and Italias. I have not yet had the pleasure of smoking a Brazilia. I do, however, have one in my humi. I shall give it a try in the near future.

[joeobx]

These are one of my go to when I want a smoke that I know wont disappoint.

[MajorCaptSilly]

I've never met a CAO that I've liked. Tried to like them but they don't work for me.

[Starscream]

Brazilias are the best CAO to me.:tu

[DropTheE]

I do like the occasional Brazila, I never had any trouble with those. I bought some of those stupid artisan CAO fancy pants sampler nightmares and had a horrible time keeping those lit and the draw was terrible. Same with some VR's that I got, maybe I just had bad batches. :sh
I will have to revisit the VR's so that I don't feel so angry towards them.:r

[Sam Tushing]

Out of my curiosity, how does a CAO Brazilian compare to a Black? I've had some Blacks and have enjoyed them as much as people suggested I might.

[icehog3]

Brazilias are the best CAO to me.:tu

To me too, Andy...unfortunately, that ain't sayin' much. :(

[Nickerson]

Brazilia > VR > Italia > La Traviata Maduro > Black

And I do like black very much. So that just speaks towards CAO's other blends. :)

[Salvelinus]

I like these a lot. After trying another Brazilian wrapped cigar (7-20-4) I decided I needed to try one of these. Think I like the flavors that the Brazilian tobacco puts out.

[jaycarla]

By far it is the best of the CAO's I have had, but not a huge fan of any of them though. I will add that the Brazilia is my brother in laws favorite smoke. There are a lot of people that love 'em.

[cigarz]

This is one of my favorites as well. I have a fiver of the Italia in the freezer now that came from cbid. Looking forward to trying them. I like the cameroons as well. I have yet to try the blacks, but I will one of these days.

[pektel]

I LOVE the CAO Bazilia Gol. Totally agree. I buy them for $14 a 5er.

[Gophernut]

I enjoy these very much!

[ujponds]

One of my favorites, the box press is good too. I always have these, Italia, Mx2 and La Traviata in my cooler.

[AUguy]

i'm the same i very rarely will nub a cigar and will put it down with about an inch left but i had a CAO Criollo awhile back and nubbed it! Something about CAO's.. :hm:hm


I like the Criollos too. The Brazilians are a little too sweet for me.

[jaydub13]

I love the brazilias. The torpedo was my first maduro, and I have been in love with it ever since. You can always find a 5er of these in my humi

[WyGuy]

The Brazilia was one of my very first smokes, essentially it's what sent me down the slope. Always have a few in the humi!

[ODLS1]

Figured I'd bump this. Tried my first CAO Brazilia tonight and was quite impressed. Granted it's been awhile since my last smoke, this was quite nice (and the fact I got it for free :D ). I wouldn't say it's one of my favorites, but definitely something I'd buy every once and awhile.

[Dunkel]

I have had 1 Brazilia Gol! and thought it was very tasty. I have had many more in my possesion, but my good friend has actually been to Brazil, so I gift ones i come across to him. He enjoys them very much! I've liked most of the CAO's I've smoked with the exception of the VR, Gold and Gold Maduro.

[Skywalker]

Agreed! These are very enjoyable!!!:tu

[jkstewart1]

Love these in the Gol! and the Lx2. Looking forward to trying a gold that's resting in the humi.

[CRIMPS]

I enjoyed the MX2 some. I had to take a break from Maduro's for a little while, though... MADURO OVERLOAD!

Mac would probably say there is no such thing... :banger

[Ferrari5180]

I have liked all of the CAO's that I have tried. The only one's left to try are the LX2, CX2, Gold and America's series.

[pektel]

One of my all time favorite cigars for sure! It's a shame I'm down to one in the humi right now.

[jechelman]

The Gol! is tasty and really holds an ash.
