"Not bad!"
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!

"Pure CAO Heaven"
CAO has managed to create "Heaven" in a box! This cigar is flawless, burns perfect, draws perfect, and the flavor is out of this world! This is always a staple in my humidor and should be in yours if you like a cigar that you can trully relax to.

"Right on baby!! best out there for the moola"
It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses

"As good as any I've smoked"
My reason for writing this review is to help you find your favorite smoke. The CAO Brazilia Ipanema is mine. I have been smoking for 20+ years. I have found a few good ones. This one, in my opinion, is better than the Carlos Torano Churchill 1916 Cameroon, the Rocky Patel Sun Grown, and the Astral Talanga Valley Selection.

"When G-d Gets It Right....G-d Gets It Right!!!!!!"
This is a great cigar, but what I am about to write must be taken with the following caveats: 1) I did not smoke this cigars until after they sat in my humidor for six months, 2) The cigars I smoked were Ipanemas and I clipped them with a V-cut (this really does not matter except for those more detailed of readers). With that said, I can only recommend these cigars if like a wonderful smoke with delicious dry wood and light leathery overtones, if you like a cigar that has a tart and dry finish with a hint of chocolate that excites the palate, and if you want to burn your fingers because you are smoking it down to the nub. I love cigars that deliver a good volume of smoke on a light draw, and this cigar does that. It is a well constructed cigar whose dark and lucious wrapper is a delight to the eye and almost a sin to turn to ash. This sin, however, is rewarded with a wonderful smoking experience that should be tried by all. I sweet bourbon or wiskey greatly heightens the experience. I would recommend both after a hard day to put in perspective about what being on this planet is all about.

"Good Cigar"
I have smoked 2 of these as I keep hearing all the noise they are making but I really can't seem to fall head over heels in love with it like everyone else. However, towards the end I think the cigar really takes off in the flavor department. It's just the first half that seems kind of dull. Maybe it's my taste buds or the Guinness I was drinking with them. Like all the CAO cigars I have smoked the construction and burn was without flaw. CAO's consistency and quality never ceases to amaze me!

"So far, the Best!"
After recently having 2 heart attacks, the Dr's said that smoking cigs was a no-no. So I decided to give cigars a try. I went through alot of cash trying to find something suitable to my palate and pocket! the Brazilia line,so far, is the BEST to date, with the Ipanema being #1 on my hit parade! Can't wait to try others from this fine company!!

"Absolute Favorite!"
I received two of these in a Famous sampler! I put them in my humi for 2weeks before I remembered them. They are 10's across the board. Prefect burn,draw, construction with the taste in a cigar that one can only hope for. Price is right, my number one cigar. I bought a box and everyone has been the same.
