Newbie Review #14 CAO Brazillia Gol!

**Dru Lee Parsec** · 12-08-2006, 01:45 PM

Wow! Now we're getting somewhere! This is a cigar that has some flavor and quality to it.

Pre-light: Medium to hard draw but lots of dark tobacco flavor.

Light-er-up!

I'm not sure what flavors there were in this thing but I liked it. And the nicotine hit was pretty serious. The burn was totally even and the ash was white and firm. It didn't fall off until it was almost 2 inches long.

I have nothing to say about chocolate notes or overtones of leather or whatever. This is a freaking cigar and it smells, taste, looks and feels like a cigar. It's strong, full bodied and really really good. Go get one.

Newbie Appropriateness:

Yeah Right!

I think that if this was a newbie's first cigar they'd go running home to their mommy.

I had the Brazilia and to be honest I didn't like it. I thought it smelled like hay. I've never had the Italia, kinda shyed away from CAO because of the Brazilia.

I bought a tin of the Cariaocas and for something that small, they are quite strong.

Whew, I knew it was a good thing I passed on that on Cbid! I need a few more mild-full bodied cigars before I go for the "kick in the nuts" FULL-bodied CAO Brazilia.
