Love from the very first puff...
 

Nubbed a Cigar last night. I rarely smoke a cigar past an inch from the end. But this cigar was just amazing.

Anyone else have a special place for this rich lovely?

I didn't want it to end! My first Brazilia, I am officially a fan! :dr

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

Brazilias are probably my favorite CAO stick. The Black and VR are pretty tasty, too.

Nice, CAO Italia was my first "real" cigar. I haven't smoke a CAO ever since then (it wasn't bad, just never care/thought about it), I think I need to revisit :)

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

I'm not a big CAO fan, but my best friend absolutely LOVES these.

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

These used to be a part of my regular rotation. Thanks for the post. Reminds me I need to start smoking these more often as I rarely ever revisit them. My favorite vitolas are the Gol and the Box Press. Great sticks that won't break the bank.

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

The Brazilia's are great smokes fo sho. Probably one of CAO's finest, but I think the La Traviata's are the best.

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

i'm the same i very rarely will nub a cigar and will put it down with about an inch left but i had a CAO Criollo awhile back and nubbed it! Something about CAO's.. :hm:hm

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

I didn't like it. If I have anymore perhaps I will find a special place for them. Like in a 5 finger bag within a box with your addy on it. I'll be in touch if I bump into any in the humi.

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

These are a staple in my rotation - I'll be picking up another box soon because I'm getting low.

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

Hmm. I should try one. I've looked at them but that's about as far as I got. I really like the MX2s, and did not like the CAO America series, which most other people say is pretty bad as well.

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

I smoked a lot of CX2's before my tastes moved on the more full bodied smokes (plus the Robustos were dirt cheap at FS for along time).

I really haven't ventured back since but the Brazil does look interesting.

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

I enjoy smoking MX2s and Italias. I have not yet had the pleasure of smoking a Brazilia. I do, however, have one in my humi. I shall give it a try in the near future.

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

These are one of my go to when I want a smoke that I know wont disappoint.

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

I've never met a CAO that I've liked. Tried to like them but they don't work for me.

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

Brazilias are the best CAO to me.:tu

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

I do like the occasional Brazila, I never had any trouble with those. I bought some of those stupid artisan CAO fancy pants sampler nightmares and had a horrible time keeping those lit and the draw was terrible. Same with some VR's that I got, maybe I just had bad batches. :sh
I will have to revisit the VR's so that I don't feel so angry towards them.:r

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

Out of my curiosity, how does a CAO Brazilian compare to a Black? I've had some Blacks and have enjoyed them as much as people suggested I might.

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

To me too, Andy...unfortunately, that ain't sayin' much. :(

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

Brazilia > VR > Italia > La Traviata Maduro > Black

And I do like black very much. So that just speaks towards CAO's other blends. :)

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

I like these a lot. After trying another Brazilian wrapped cigar (7-20-4) I decided I needed to try one of these. Think I like the flavors that the Brazilian tobacco puts out.

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

By far it is the best of the CAO's I have had, but not a huge fan of any of them though. I will add that the Brazilia is my brother in laws favorite smoke. There are a lot of people that love 'em.

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

This is one of my favorites as well. I have a fiver of the Italia in the freezer now that came from cbid. Looking forward to trying them. I like the cameroons as well. I have yet to try the blacks, but I will one of these days.

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

I LOVE the CAO Bazilia Gol. Totally agree. I buy them for $14 a 5er.

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

I enjoy these very much!

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

One of my favorites, the box press is good too. I always have these, Italia, Mx2 and La Traviata in my cooler.

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

I like the Criollos too. The Brazilians are a little too sweet for me.

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

I love the brazilias. The torpedo was my first maduro, and I have been in love with it ever since. You can always find a 5er of these in my humi

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

The Brazilia was one of my very first smokes, essentially it's what sent me down the slope. Always have a few in the humi!

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

Figured I'd bump this. Tried my first CAO Brazilia tonight and was quite impressed. Granted it's been awhile since my last smoke, this was quite nice (and the fact I got it for free :D ). I wouldn't say it's one of my favorites, but definitely something I'd buy every once and awhile.

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

I have had 1 Brazilia Gol! and thought it was very tasty. I have had many more in my possesion, but my good friend has actually been to Brazil, so I gift ones i come across to him. He enjoys them very much! I've liked most of the CAO's I've smoked with the exception of the VR, Gold and Gold Maduro.

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

Agreed! These are very enjoyable!!!:tu

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

Love these in the Gol! and the Lx2. Looking forward to trying a gold that's resting in the humi.

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

I enjoyed the MX2 some. I had to take a break from Maduro's for a little while, though... MADURO OVERLOAD!

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

Mac would probably say there is no such thing... :banger

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

I have liked all of the CAO's that I have tried. The only one's left to try are the LX2, CX2, Gold and America's series.

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

One of my all time favorite cigars for sure! It's a shame I'm down to one in the humi right now.

Re: Love from the very first puff...
 

The Gol! is tasty and really holds an ash.
