Default Which would you buy?

So I'm currently going to order a 5 capacity herfidor, and want to order a 5 pack of cigars too. I think I've narrowed it down to CAO Brazilia Gol or Diesel Unholy Cocktail. Ordering from CI. Unless you guys recommend a better place.

lol. I actually just saw they have a herf-n-go pack for $35. There is a dominican sampler that includes:

Herfidor - 5 capacity

Macanudo Hyde park
Cohiba Red Dot
LGC Wavell
Partagas naturales
Partagas black classico

Oh, and it comes with a cutter and lighter too. And free shipping!

I love the hell out of CAO's Brazilia. Easily one of my top 5 favorite cigars I have smoked. I think it was a wise choice.

If you like the Brazilias then go for it. It's all about what you like not what we like.

Try the diesels later.

I've had both, Diesel's good but like the CAO better. It's all personal taste.

I have had them both, and I would have to say that they are easily two of my favorites. You didn't choose wrong, but either way would have worked.

Brazilia has a great flavor profile, and CAO rolls pretty consistent sticks.
