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! :-)

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 :-)

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

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.

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

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.. :-):-)

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.

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

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.
[Reply]

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.

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.

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

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

Brazilias are the best CAO to me.:-)
[Reply]

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. :-)
I will have to revisit the VR's so that I don't feel so angry towards them.:-)
[Reply]

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.
[Reply]

To me too, Andy...unfortunately, that ain't sayin' much. :-)
[Reply]

Brazilia > VR > Italia > La Traviata Maduro > Black

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