I actually like all of the CAO's, with the possible exception of the Italia.

The Brazilia line is one of the prettiest looking cigars around -- that dark black wrapper and bright green band draw attention! Strong, sometimes almost harsh, but good.

The Anniversaries are excellent.

But as someone noted above, I don't think there's much doubt that the CAO Gold are the best, particularly if you like a milder, smoother smoke.
