I am a big time Fuente' fan,prefer larger Dominican maduros'. Took a chance on a 10 pak of CAO Anacondas(dont waste your time) and the Ipanema-Iwill purchase them again! good smoke-dark,almost oily wrapper that is best left in the humidor for a month before you smoke them- 7.5 to 8 out of 10 for me! less

"Impossible Draw"

I have smoked most of the Cao line of cigars & have been pleased with all of them. The Brazilia Lambada is the exception. All of these had very difficult draw which is a real drag. Stick with the Brazilia Ipanema 7 X 50 which has great draw and fantastic flavor. less

I absolutely enjoy the full bodied taste and I know the flavor is done once I snuff it out. How can such a full flavored cigar leave so little aftertaste? The only complaint is every now and again I don't get a uniform burn and it ruins the experience. All in all, CAO Amazon is one of my favorites. less

I loved the mix of sweetness (from the wrapper I guess, which is a very dark oscuro color, which mottled somewhat over time) mixed with the full flavor and only slightly spicy cut. But the amount of tobacco and rolling technique means that the draw is characteristically VERY hard on these cigars, clogged on some, and I like a firm draw. Maybe they need to be aged more and dryed out for an hour prior to smoking. Definitely not for someone who wants an easy draw with lots of smoke. less

There are better... there are worse... But we all have one that balances everything... flavor, burn, draw, price, looks. This is mine! I can't afford many boxes so I go for the most enjoyable when I can. GREAT SMOKE! less

This is probably my favorite cigar and is what turned my interest into cigars into a full fledged passion. With an amazing chocolate taste in the last two-thirds coupled with spices throughout the smoke this is cigar will have you smoking til your fingers burn. The only drawback is the uneven burn that requires a touchup or two. Great price for a great cigar less

I stalk these little guys in my humidor. I like the construction and how it presents it self. it's not rolled as tight as the CX2. I like it by far more than the CX2 though. I need to try other CAO's to see which one is the best, but for now the way to go is... Go! Go! Go!. This will impress your friends and turn heads, wondering where that nice smoke is coming from. Nice little before or after dinner smoke.I only smoke the best. Has an even burn and draws about a 9.5 I think. Watch out! though cause this one will bite you in the ass. Like getting on a bike for the first time. Take it slow and easy and it will turn out real nice. less
