Smoked a lot of the L'Anniversaire Maduros 10 years back, not sure what I was thinking....Major pepper bombs.

Enjoyed the Brazilia Piranhas for a bit, but those even became to peppery for my tastes as my palate evolved.

Wow somebody actually mentioned Moontrance here. African Cameroon. A honey-vanilla tipped that I went through a few boxes of during my " infusion only" phase when I first started. A great noobie handout cigar. Quite mild, and lightly sweet. Always have a few corona here. If the wife ever asks to try a cigar, that will be the smoke I will hand her. It's also one of the smokes she has commented positively about the aroma.

The CAO America, albeit a quality smoke, I found ho-hum and the Brizilia nice but I think I've had too many lately.
The Concert and Mx2 are more where my tastes are at now.

HaHa but that'll change next month, right .....

I usually like milder smokes, but the CAO America was quite enjoyable for me. It was full-flavored and almost chewy without being a pepper bomb. I'd really like to try the Perfecto, but I think it only comes in the gift box.

Way back before I took a cigar hiatus, I would grab Brazilias regularly. I haven't had one in easily 8 years but bought one a couple months back that's been napping in my box. Maybe I'll fire it up this weekend.

Love the MX2. Will pretend the MX3 never existed so I can minimize the sadness at never trying it. :D

I loved the LX2 and the Visions (not listed), but the visions weren't worth the price point

Re: What CAO had the best flavor profile for you?
 
MX2 & LX2 are my favorites. I recently tried the Concert and really enjoyed smoking that cigar. I need to try a few more before I make up my mind about it.

Totally forgot about those, I loved those!

Brazilia Gol, MX2, and the Cameroon (L'anniversaire) were my favorites.

Re: What CAO had the best flavor profile for you?
 
LX2, Sopranos and Brazilia. La Traviata is a pretty good smoke for that $5 price range.
I really wanted to like the America more because the packaging and looks of the cigar were great, but it was just one of those cigars that didn't make much impression.

Brazilia & MX2
