"Pleasant smoke"
Uneven burn,a bit tight on the draw. Overall very good flavors and a pleasant smoke as advertised. Would recommend to all!

"Gol! Indeed"
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

"Go! Go! Go!"
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.

"complex, simply wonderful, but..."
This cigar makes me happy and almost giddy. To begin the appearance is almost flawless with a deep, dark, rich, wrap, and the eye catching band. The taste is complex, full bodied, and finishes well with no bad aftertaste or bitterness. The taste consist of a sweet undertones, notes of cedar, roasted coffe, and cocoa. This cigar would be nearly a perfect if several issues were not present: the draw and the burn. The draw can be a little tight thusly hindering the true taste, and the cigar may burn uneven. However, even with these imperfections the taste easily makes up for it. 8.9/10 Perhaps allowing the cigar to sit in the humidor for a month longer would help.
KEY FACTS: -cigar came out of a sample pack consiting of premium cigars
-Aged in humidor at home for aprx 2.5 months.
-smoked one CAO 1 week after ariving, not as good as the one that sat

"gonna have to try it again"
I'm a huge CAO fan (Italia, Maduro Gold), but every once in a while I'll get one with a hard draw. This was the case with this particular Gol. Great flavor but the hard draw seemed to make a bitter final third. I have two more to try so we'll see...hopefully it'll be right on par with the rest of these great reviews.

"These are great. Simple as that."
What else can you say? Hearty, creamy full flavor. Thick smoke & solid ash. Pre-light scent of earthiness. Great draw & great aroma. You cannot go wrong with a box of these.

"And the winner is....."
I am looking forward to watching a cage match between the Criollo & Brazilia to determine which I like better. The Brazilia looks great, smells great, smokes great! Though you do need a longer time to smoke this fine cigar, you will go out of your way to make the time to do so.

"You will not be disappointed. It's that good!"
The CAO Piranhas originally turned me off. But I decided this CAO line deserved another try. I'm so-o-o-o-o happy that I did. The GOL is one fantastic cigar! The flavor is amazing. Toasted nuts and a rich coffee bean, cocoa flavor, makes the aroma of this puppy a sought after enjoyment! The flavor is at times difficult to describe, yet oh so good. You will not be disappointed.
