Which would you buy?

pektel · 08-13-2010, 03:26 PM

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.

buy both and a mix and match!

pektel · 08-13-2010, 03:37 PM

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!

So, that and 1 more 5 pack... hmmm..... I really like the Brazilia gol, but haven't had the diesel.

cigarmonkel · 08-13-2010, 03:46 PM

i just smoked a diesel earlier today. I'm not a fan of maddies but THAT was DELICIOUS!

markem · 08-13-2010, 03:49 PM

is there someone local who will do a mix and match split with you?

pektel · 08-13-2010, 04:06 PM

Nope. I'm in the middle of nowhere. northern MN.

jledou · 08-13-2010, 07:07 PM

I prefer the diesel over the brazila

warren G. · 08-13-2010, 08:55 PM

A huge +1 on the diesel.

pektel · 08-13-2010, 09:15 PM

damnit. I bought the brazilia because i've had it and like it. going to a music festival in a week, and wanted to be sure I.m liking what i smoke. Oh well. Maybe next time. At least i know the diesel should be good.

08-13-2010, 11:05 PM

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.

joeobx · 08-14-2010, 05:33 AM

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

Gophernut · 08-14-2010, 05:59 AM

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.

ckay · 08-14-2010, 07:37 AM

They are both great cigars.

Ogre · 08-14-2010, 08:30 AM

I currently have and smoke both of them. Great cigars, cant go wrong with either one.

d'am · 08-14-2010, 08:30 PM

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

SaltyMcGee · 08-14-2010, 08:50 PM

I recommend a much larger Herf-a-dor!

two entirely diffrent cigars, especially the wrappers si its like comparing apples tp oranges. I have smoked both and they both really good cigars the diesel being more medium and the Brazilia leans towards full. Do love that pennsylvania broadleaf on the Diesel thou.
