Newb Question..

I'm not too bright but I pronounce:

AY-VOH
C A O
and Five Vegas

I coudl be wrong though!

hhmm. This is an intersting question. I never really thought about it until you mentioned it, but I guess I could be calling these by the wrong names all the time. I have not gotten any strange looks from my local shop owner, but he IS a nice guy...lol


Kelvin, I have been calling them AH-VOHs... It will be interesting to see what the "proper" ways to say these are

Ok here is a total newb question. How to you pronounce the following brands:

AVO
CAO
5 Vegas - (I have heard you should say "cinco vegas")

Thanks! - I just don't want to look stupid when I go into the local shop!

AVO should be pronounced AH-VO
CAO C.A.O.
And 5 Vegas, is Cinco Vegas

But, that is just me. I know Macallan knows all this stuff.

I once heard CAO pronounced as "COW"

I pronounce AVO as "AH-VO"
CAO as "C-A-O"
and 5 Vegas as Five Vegas although I could be wrong on that one.

while were on the subject, how do you pronounce "corojo", i say it like "corogo", but the lady at the shop said it like "coroho" whicch one is right?

I believe the latter is correct

yeah, I definitely think it's "coh-roh-ho"

in Spanish a "J" sounds like an "H"



AUGH! - VO! always jump in the air between breaths.
CAO - is COW and you should Moo (secret in thingy)
5-Vegas - Not sure :roll: :wink:

CC, you told me to spin around on one leg between breaths - you were trying to make me look even more foolish to the guy at the shop.

OK

No Kelvin, it is just that funny hat you wear all the time......Oh, wait a minute thats me!

By the way I plan on smoking a GOF for my birthday this year, and next year its going to be an Opus X or a Cuban - so you guys can all join me if you want!
