CAO brazilia?

Anyone fond of these cigars? I was thinking of picking some up. I have never tried any of the CAO's but i read up on them a bit and the Brazilia sounds like the best bet for me. I was just wondering about your opinions?

I like them. They are a consistent medium/full bodied smoke with nice flavor. Nothing super special but I enjoy them. Definitely like it more than the Italia.

Yes, i hear the italia is a bit weaker. Any particular size you like in the Brazilia?

The Brazilia is my second favorite CAO behind the Criollo

I saw this forum thread just as I landed on the order page of a mail order place I am checking out here in .au . They were talking about this cigar on their news page as having 'just landed' so I ordered a couple of Samba's + a couple of the CAO Piranha's. Hopefully will get them early next week and can give them a try.

I wouldn't say weaker just a completely different smoke.

Great Cigar

The Brazilia is a great cigar imo. I plan on ordering a box of them. The GOL size was recommended by the local B&M. It's fat tho, 56rg. This is no doubt one of my favorite smokes yet. I posted a review a few days ago HERE. Pick a few up, I'm sure you'll like them.

hell, go pick up a CAO sampler if you're after a box... try everything at once.

I smoke the Brazilia Gol all the time, it's a pretty heavy smoke but not overpowering. It is definitely my favorite CAO, followed closely by the Criollo.

I just smoked one of these guys, it was great. Possibly my favourite smoke I've had so far.

Most everyone likes a good CAO. I have enjoyed the Gol!, and am letting another one spend some good time in my humi. I would also recommend the Criollo for a good, full bodied, earthy smoke.

Sounds good to me, I am going to try some of them.

I enjoy both the CAO Brazilia and the Italia.

I just attended a CAO event at my local B&M. I have only limited experience with the CAO line, but was able to try the full line Friday evening. I found the Brazillia much to my liking, in fact I liked it well enough to pick up a box of the Sambas. However the Italia did nothing for me.

The CAO rep at the event confirmed that most who enjoy Brazillia don't care much for the Italia.

I found the Maduro had a heavy chocolate note to it and almost as enjoyable as the Brazillia. I will have to pick up a box of them as well. If only I had an unlimited budget. Oh well, maybe next week.
