I had a CAO Brazilia last nigth (GOL). I bought it a couple weeks back at my local shop while I was trying to find a cigar with flavor and punch!.

When I openned the humidor last night this guy and the Partagas black label were looking back at me. The green label and dark wrapper won out last night.

As I was tosting the foot my cool flameless lighter ran out of fluid :( Cool I thought I have a spare....ran out also..... :evil:

Now that my mouth was watering from desire and frustration I snatched a book of matches and pulled 3 out. Struck them all together and when the burning smell of sulfer started to clear I was back to lighting..... 8)

The draw and burn where great the whole time. There was lots of smoke, which was fun :)

I had never had a wrapper like this before and it was odd at first, I rolled it around in my mouth for a while before I figured out I like it. Strong sent, feel, and taste.

Spicy, nice and spicy, nice and very spicy, and strong. At one point near the end I found myself holding the stick out in front of me and growling back at it !!!!

man that was good, got a bit of a buzz, and laugh from the whole thing. I will be getting a few more of these to keep on hand.
 
Awesome! The Brazillia (especially the Gol size) is one of my favorite cigars. That and the CAO Black.

If I could, I'd buy a box or two of each.
 
Iwent to a CAO meet and greet with the regional sales manager at a shop in Libertyville Illinois and got a free Brazilia Gol! me and my friend who went with me smoked them as soon as we got back, delicious, spicy and smooth draw, it was great just chillin with it. Got my fiancee one as well, a bigger size, almosttoo big, it was tough to get the ol lips around it but it was still an easy draw.



I was needing a bigger humi, so I bought a box of the CAO blacks gothic (torpedo) and got a sweet CAO humi for 40 bucks i think with the box purchase. I have enjoyed every Black I have smoekd so far, the one i had yesterday had a little soft spot, but that was the first problem I had in the burn. I will probably smoke one tonight at my friends baseball game, unless its too windy, then ill go with a vieja habana. CAO is my second favorite line, behind the Gurkhas.
 
The Brazilia Gol! is definitely one of my favorites. Had my first one a few of weeks ago and have since gone out and bought several more to keep on hand in the humi. Along with the Cameroon and Black, CAO is one of my favorite brands for sure. If I rated them right now, my top 3 brands are:

1. Rocky Patel (vintage, connecticut, reo, sun grown)
2. Cusano (18s and corojo)
3. CAO (brazilia, cameroon, black)
 
The CAO Brazilia Gol is also one of my favorites.

I have not tried a Black, but it is in my plans to do so. How does the Black compare to the Brazilia?

From CAO, I also like the:

CAO L'A Maduro
CAO Mx2
 
I hear a lot of good things about the black and the MX2. I will be giving them a try soon I hope.

The only other CAO I have had was the CAO L Anniversaire Cameroon and I like that one a lot too
 
I'll have to give the Gol a try. I don't think I've smoked one. Sunday I managed to smoke an Amazon, but usually I end up buying Anacondas whenever I pick up a Brazillia or two.
One of these days I'll have to pick up a bigger humi so I can start buying boxes. Whenever I do I'll have to pick up some Brazillias.
 
Those Brazilias are one incredible smoke that is for sure. For a little quicker ride, try the Pirana, same flavor. less time!!

Bravo to CAO!! 8) 8)
 
I love the CAO blacks and CX2's. I still want to try the Brazilia. My dad wont shut up about them. To bad he's on the other side of the country or I'd rob him. :twisted:
 
I love the Gols too. I didn't care for them at first but now that I've gone back to them I quite enjoy them. If you want a quick smoke I suggest the Brazilia Cariocas Tins. Great taste for even less than the Fuente Exquisitos.
 
I second the cariocas. I have smoked more of that stick than any other. I love them.
 
I smoked 2 cigars last night. One was the CAO CX2 which I won in the survey question raffle. Absolutely awesome flavor and great smoke in general. The second smoke was a Pryme SE Gold 200. This is the second best smoke that I have ever had. The first was when I was in Canada and had a Bolivar PC. Paul :evil:
