CAO Brazilia CigarsFantastic smooth, full smoke! Love this cigar! I have found a great full bodied and smooth smoke here.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Piranha by Will of Tallahassee, FL on November 13, 2008finest I have had yetI have been smoking for the last 6 years trying a new one every month or so. this is the finest I have had short of the Opus X.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Ipanema by Mike of Kansas City on November 5, 2008gonna have to try it againI'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.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Gol ! by J.T. of Freeport on October 24, 2008Pure CAO HeavenCAO 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.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Ipanema by Steve of Willowbrook, Illinois on October 12, 2008Great smoke and flavorThis is one of my new favorites!
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Piranha by H-foos of CA on August 21, 2008These 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.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Gol ! by Scott of Pittsburgh on August 19, 2008And 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.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Gol ! by Henry of Oak Forest on August 18, 2008Good CigarOverall I really like this cigar. I have had difficulty on a couple of them with drawing, but I can usually get over that with the slight assistance of a golf tee.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Samba by Kyle of Georgia on August 11, 2008Incredible spicy flavorIncredible spicy flavor
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Minis (20) by Tony of Richmond, VA on July 1, 2008Fantastic Smoke, Great Flavor, One of Best!!!!!Fantastic Smoke, Great Flavor, One of the Best For Money. You can't go Wrong!!!
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Amazon by Rick of Albuquerque, NM on June 15, 2008BAM!This and the Lambada are 2 of my all time favorites. Smooth but rich Chocolate, Coffee flavors - just a touch of sweetness. Its addicting. Draw slow and steady on these to keep an even burn. Wrapper can peal towards the end if you huff and puff. Overall though - an extremely satisfying smoke.

This review was written about CAO Brazilia Gol ! by Allen of California on April 17, 2008Great smokeAs a lover of many CAO brands, this is my favorite cigar of my favorite brand. I like a CAO Gold in the morning, Cameroon at lunch and A Brazilia in the evening. For a quick smoke go with the Piranah...But, if you have time to enjoy a remarkable stogie, please try the GOL
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Gol 5 Pack by Tim of Indiana on April 8, 2008Right on baby!! best out there for the moolaIt'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
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Ipanema by Barny of Columbus Ohio on April 7, 2008One of the BestI bought a box of these on auction and boy am I glad I did. This is one of the absolute best full flavored cigars I have tasted. I smoked one right of out of the box with no humidor aging and wow... I can't believe how good. I wish I had bought two boxes.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Amazon by The Body of Forty Fort, PA on March 26, 2008Holy CAOMy first CAO experience was, simply put, a rite of passage into the blissful world of fine cigar!
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Box-Press by Khanh of Iraq on March 17, 2008On par with Opus XWas burning a Opus X every day until one of my friend turned me on to the Brazilia Box-Press. Since then I've received two boxes and and have not had a bad one yet! The burn is perfect and if you want a "Thick N Chewy" stik with a lot of flavor the Brazilia is for you. You can't say enough about this stik.. Great price too, under 6 bucks a stik everywhere.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Box-Press by Boston ROB of Iraq on March 13, 2008Enjoyable Smoke...While this is an enjoyable smoke with notes of light leather I was expecting more from this full bodied cigar. Not to say that it was not a smooth smoke with an even burn and it held its ash very well , I was expecting something else. I will have to give it another shot and this time try it with some Remy Martin VSOP, my drink of choice. The cigar mellowed somewhat about half way through and was enjoyable. 6.5/10
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Amazon by Matt of Burlington, KY on February 20, 2008Quality cigarStart to finish everything about this cigar is quality, try it you'll like it.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Amazon by Ed of northeast pa on November 20, 2007Shrugging my ShouldersI had this sitting in my humidor for a few months, and decided that a Sunday evening would be the perfect time to enjoy this cigar. Very well constructed, but the burn was forever sloppy. As for the taste, it didn't have any bad flavors, but it left me shrugging my shoulders. Nothing complex, nothing fascinating, and nothing that would make me run out and buy a box. This was strange to me, as the aroma was top notch. I will certainly give this cigar another chance. This was the second CAO that I was less than thrilled with; odd as they make some of my all time favorite cigars.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Samba by Brian of Kentucky on November 20, 2007Excellent smoke!What a full body cigar should taste like! This is one of my favorite smokes. It burns well, plenty of smoke, and flavor. This is my favorite out of all of the CAO's. The Italia is good too, but the Brazilia has the best flavor. It's good all the way down to the nub, don't burn your fingers. For the full body aficionado, you will enjoy this cigar.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Amazon by SR of CA on October 15, 2007As good as any I've smokedMy 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.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Ipanema by Bill Quattlebaum of GA on September 17, 2007the perfect cigarSmoke this and found a real thing dammm good. CAO has bad ass cigars.The $ is not bad.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Gol 5 Pack by ALEX of HOUSTON on August 28, 2007Very disappointingNice appearance, average to good construction, fair burn, too tight draw, absolutely no taste (well, not true, tastes like floor sweepings), save your money-not worth the effort.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Cariocas Tin Of 5 by Bimmerman of MI on August 13, 2007CAO BRAZILIA AMAZON~AMAZING CIGAR!I had read some reviews on this fine cigar a year ago and decided that I wanted to try one. I was initially taken aback by the taste, aroma and flavor...but after half a stick I began to 'smile' as each puff and exhalation was VERY enjoyable. This fine stick burns evenly and I agree with another reviewer that you smoke it to the very end and enjoy ever delectable inch!
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Amazon by Randall Gowett of KS on July 18, 2007Intensely satisfying!I've smoked cigars for years but never tried the CAO line until I got a five-pack of Brazilia Lambada. It's a fine ending to a tough day after supper and coffee. It's aroma is like that rich cup of coffee; it's smoke is silky smooth; the draw and burn are near perfect. The flavor is full and leaves the taste of coffee and cocoa as its finish. If you're like me, you'll "bathe" in the aromas of the cigar. This fine creation is well-received by seasoned smokers! They'll be in one of my many humidors for years to come!
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Lambada by Greg of Hattiesburg, Mississippi on July 7, 2007You 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.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Gol ! by Big-T of Reading, MA on May 15, 2007Fantastic cigar from start to finish!I love CAO cigars.The Gol is a complete cigar from all angles.Great taste,even burn and seems mild even though it's a full bodied stick.Highly recommended!
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Gol ! by Jerry of San Diego on March 6, 2007Great Taste, Sometimes Uneven BurnYes, the taste and draw on these cigars are great. The burn can be uneven, depending upon which one you pull out of the humidor. But that is a minuscule problem compared to the pleasure. I highly recommend them to the person looking for a rich and full-bodied smoke.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Gol ! by Perry Callas of OR on March 5, 2007This girl is tall and mighty.What a punch this sweetheart packs! And this ring gauge is a jawbreaker, to boot. I started with Gol!, couldn't get enough and stepped up to Amazon. She's everything a maduro should be dark and mysterious. Sneaks up on you and knocks you flat. If you don't burn your fingers on this one you don't like cigars!
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Amazon by Halftrip of Los Angeles, CA on February 28, 2007Outstanding medium to full flavored cigarI have tried about a dozen miniature cigars and the Brazilia is by far the best I've tried. The cigar is full of flavor, burns consistent, and lasts close to 30 minutes. I think the Cariocas have a better flavor than the full size Brazilia.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Cariocas Tin Of 5 by John P. Jones of South Carolina on January 4, 2007My favorite small cigarGreat taste in a smaller cigar. I've never had any of the problems that other people have stated here.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Piranha by Scott Johnson of NC on December 27, 2006Yeah baby!!!Like Full Flavor? Well you can't go wrong with this one!!! Go to Fox & Hounds and Burn one now!!
you'll be glad you did!
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Gol 5 Pack by Juan Cruz of NC on December 20, 2006A great Smoke comparable to any price rangeThis is a great cigar! I am glad I tried this one out, it has become my favorite smoke anytime of the day. It is not strong for a Maduro. I find it mild and a long smooth smoke. Enjoyable.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Gol 5 Pack by Robert Wayne of GA on October 27, 2006Big Flavor in A Little CigarI really enjoyed these little cigars! I have found my new favourite mini cigar for after dinner or those times when I'm in the mood for a powerhouse flavor cigar but don't have much time. It actually smoked longer then most cigars of this size. I actually spent close to 30 minutes smoking one, so the price per tin of 5 is pretty darn good. Probably not for new smokers or ones looking for a mild smoke.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Cariocas Tin Of 5 by Eric D. of Maryland on October 8, 2006ExcellentThe Brazilia Gol! is proof that it is possible to find a great cigar for around $4 a smoke.
I have a buddy who gives me $15-20 boutiques that he claims as "the best he has ever smoked." I smoke them and think, "what's the big deal?" I'll take a Brazilia anyday over this - and pocket the savings!
The Gol is full but not overpowering. Lots of smoke which - I like, wondeful flavor from start to finish, excellent construction. You gotta try one!
Peace
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Gol ! by Managuamark of San Antonio on September 7, 2006When 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.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Ipanema by Saxjazzman of West Point, New York on August 24, 2006Fantastic Cigar For The Whole Family To EnjoyAnyone who has tried CAO Brazilia line knows that they mean business...one of my favorites
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Ipanema by Hooj of Ohio on August 16, 2006Very tight roll, uneven burn and HOT on the draw.Thought this one was going to be a keeper. Not. CAO turned me off with this little cigar. Great choice for the name, this cigar bit like a piranha. You won't find these in my humidor again. They were are actually a bit too dry when they arrived.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Piranha by Joseph T of Reading, MA on August 14, 2006What a Thrill!!!I must say, I was somewhat hesitant to smoke one of these at first. I approached the brightly colored CAO box, and felt that there just had to be some amount of gimmick associated with a less than conventional presentation. The green band is unique and attractive, and the dark wrapper is terrific.
After buying my first single of this wonderfully crafted brand though, any doubt that I may have had before was washed completely away. In a simplistic one liner, this cigar is perfect. At first approach, one notices the thicker than normal robusto ring gauge. This puts something substantial between your teeth. The flavor of the wrapper is amazing, and don't even get me started on the amazing smoke. I noticed that these cigars definately are full bodied, but at the same time are so mellow and easy to process that one might be tricked into thinking that this cigar is a mild. After buying that first single and smoking, I promptly have purchased a box, and there isn't any way that I will be without a box of these in my humidor. It should be noticed that my most pleasant experience with this cigar occurred when I reached the last inch. I started to notice a scent that reminded me of clove or patouly oil. I thought that there must be something around me creating this wonderful boquet. I finally realized that this amazing aroma was wafting from my Brazilia.
For anyone who hasn't tried one of these yet, please, do yourself a favor and purchase at least one, if not an entire box.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Gol ! by Andrew of San Mateo, CA on August 11, 2006Intriguing cigarWow! A very nice treat in a cigar. I will take more of these! Great construction. To say that his cigar has a complex flavor is understating the experience- An absolute must try, this one will become one of your favorites! Regarding the draw - no complaints this is a number 10 smoke on a 1-10 scale. A must have for the humi!
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Gol ! by mark of Spokane Washington on August 7, 2006Every day is Carnival with this smokeI am pretty skeptical of products with snazzy wrappers and logos, however, this cigar left me with a perma-grin and chomping at the bit for more. I have smoked many premium cigars over the years, including top-notch Cubans in different parts of the world. The Brazilia got my attention, though. Well done, CAO! I ordered two boxes as soon as I was through smoking this gem.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Samba by Brad of Rochester, NY on July 25, 2006You'll spoil yourselfThis is without doubt one of the best cigars on the market. The entire array of sizes in the Brazilia line are fantastic. Every Brazilia I've smoked has had terrific draw, burn, ash, and construction. The flavor will knock your socks off. It is spicy, full, complex, but never harsh. This needs top be a staple in everyone's humidor.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Gol ! by Jason of Louisiana on July 20, 2006He shoots... he scores... GO(a)L!!!What can you say bad about CAO? Brazilia is another chart topper in my book!
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Gol ! by Todd of Baltimore on July 5, 2006Big cigar flavor in 20 minute smokeAnyone who has trouble getting these to deliver a terrific volume of toasty coffee hinted smoke is keeping them too moist.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Cariocas Tin Of 5 by Michael of North Port, Florida on May 26, 2006Good PersonalityThis one has a good personality. Some of the other high end smokes are just too perfect; but this one was willing to take some chances. It is a strong one. I smoked it all the way down and had a smile on my face after finishing it. It's worth a try if you can get it on sale.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Amazon by Nightjoe of Sagle, ID on May 25, 2006Everything a Big, Bold Cigar should be!!! SuperbI've been smoking good cigars for about a year and have found the CAO line wonderful over all. When I couldn't find any more MX2's around, I started trying their other cigars. Every one of the full size cigars are great with wonderful aroma and flavor in the Brazilia line. The large ringsize just makes it that much better right down to where you'll want to smoke it, the NUB!
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Amazon by AP N of Central TX on May 15, 2006Pow!Rich and peppery, quite tasty. This stick has the oiliest wrapper I have ever seen, and it's build like a police baton.
Not for the beginner.....
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Gol ! by Mike of Pittsburgh on April 27, 2006Oh Yeah!A friend gave me one of these to try. He raves about it so had to see for myself. Everything about this cigar is first rate. Good burn with lots of long tight ashes, great construction, excellent eye appeal and outstanding taste. After I finished it, I called him and just said "Oh Yeah!" He knew what I was talking about.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Gol 5 Pack by Boxtakilla of Tulsa, OK on April 5, 2006Not CAO's BestI recently purchased a tin of these. I gave up on smoking 3 of them because they were just wrapped too tight and had 0 draw. The other two were just too harsh in a small size. I liked the flavor and body in a larger ring cigar, but no good in the mini
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Cariocas Tin Of 5 by Scott of Holland, PA on April 4, 2006Big flavor in a small package.I don't know how they get this much flavor in such a small cigar. Spicy and tasty.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Cariocas Tin Of 5 by Stuart Fitzsimons of Oregon on March 27, 2006Another great CAO!This is another great CAO! This cigar was great all around and I will have many more.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Lambada by CHoefs of Nebraska on February 21, 2006WOWThese are so good. I was surprised. They are the perfect size for a quicky and the flavor is more than I expected. Buy them and you will fall in love.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Cariocas 10/5 by David Aguiar of California on February 14, 2006One of the finest Cigars, Perfect 10I was so impressed with the sample robusto that came with my CAO Gold torpedos I bought a box that same day!! The first letter of the name C stands for Consistent!! Every line of CAO just great! And a great value! Give yourself an hour of one of the most enjoyable smokes on the market with amazing taste!
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Gol ! by Mark Kyser of Michigan on February 13, 2006great little cigargreat little smoke. if you want something during lunch or while just needing 15 minutes to kill try these little dandies. great quality full flavor for such tiny smokes. i must admit the packaging caught my eye as well
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Cariocas Tin Of 5 by gino of new york city on January 14, 2006Is there anything CAO can't do ?I finally got the nerve to fire up the black beauty that came in a sampler w/ my CAO Criollo order. I'd been "Brazilia curious" for awhile, but the black wrapper and the full flavor description made me hesitant. Wow, what a surprise! Great burn, draw and ash, and a <i>very</i> rich flavor/aroma...yet not bitter or harsh. Criollos, Cameroons, eXtremes, now Brazilia: I may be stocking the humidor w/ nothing but CAO from now on!
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Gol ! by Doc Arnold of Reno, NV on December 30, 2005Majority RulesHow many times do you have to read about this great Cig. before you try some. I smoke only good cigs. and this one is WAY UP THERE ON MY LIST. C.A.O. knows how to make a great blind. I love full body cigs and the Brazilia Go is one fine cigar.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Gol ! by Rayvon of Califorina on December 27, 2005one fantastic smokeIt was without a doubt the best tasting cigar I've had to date. It left me looking forward to the next one...
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Lambada 5 Pack by Don T of Wichita,Kansas on November 13, 2005My favorite cigarAlthough I have found that the Maduro LaFloridita Toros or Belicoso is my favored everyday smoke, when ever I feel like splurging, these are the best cigar I have found in 40 years of cigar smoking. I am not skilled enough with words to describe them.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Amazon by Randall M of Wisconsin on November 9, 2005Good CigarI 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!
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Ipanema by Josh of Phoenix, AZ on October 4, 2005The best damn cigar I`ve ever had!!!!!!This cigar burns like a dream, draw is perfect.Those are only second to it`s outstanding flavor. I`VE FINALLY FOUND MY FAVORITE CIGAR.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Lambada by Paul Dukes of Pa on July 26, 2005Good morning smokeI am having one right now and it is Sunday at 11AM - so good! Perfect draw, nice even burn, smooth taste that isn't harsh even this early in the day. I love it!
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Amazon by Bill of CT on July 24, 2005So 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!!
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Ipanema by Ed B of NJ on July 17, 2005WOW!Simply the best cigar ever made! Truly outstanding!
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Gol ! by Karl Childers of Lima, Ohio on June 30, 2005Love brand, Piranha is a great size!Loved this CAO line since day 1 and always thought it would benefit from a smaller ringed smoke. The Piranha is great in satisfying this wish, as it develops superb flavor and depth with a smaller gauge. The time to finish is also surprising as you might think it is a shorter smoke. Definitely a Full-bodied/flavored smoke on my "A" list.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Piranha by Jeff of Virginia on June 19, 2005OUTSTANDING!!This is of my favorite cigars. I always keep a box or two in my humidor. I like the great taste and found the burn always very good. I like to smoke these on special bays when I want a great cigar without a hefty price.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Gol ! by Raven Warrior of Alabama on June 5, 2005Absolutely Exquisite!This cigar epitomizes the premium cigar. It lacks nothing but the unreasonable price. The draw, burn, ash, flavor, and construction of this beauty were absolutely perfect. This cigar has such a great and complex flavor but is so incredibly smooth at the same time. I let this one sit in my humidor for 3 weeks before I smoked it. I had read great things about it and I lit it expecting great things. It overdelivered. It has earn a rotation and valuable real estate in my humidor.
This review was written about CAO Brazilia Gol ! by Jason of Louisiana on May 19, 2005Just look at the reviews!Brian U. from PA you took the words RIGHT outta my mouth!! One of these and a Guinness, its like dying and going to your "happy place!!" This cigar is absolutely excellent in every way. Great construction, burn, taste. In my opinion this has to be one of the very best cigars out there right now. Get ya some!!
