Newb Question..

Personally I say Corojo as Cor-oh-ho, Avo as Ah-vo and CAO as see-A-oh. CAO is an acronym for someone's initials if I remember right. So "cow" might be considered an insult. "Cow Master" might be more appropriate. The CAO Brazillia Anacoda is a cow compared to most cigars, and also one of my favorites.
 
I have a bad habit of saying C.A.O. as "caio." I know its said as the initials (Zandor, it is the initials of the family) but still say the name incorrectly anyways. You can't really correct yourself and I always walk away feeling so stupid.

I once was on speakerphone with the regional distribution manager and caught myself right in the middle of mispronouncing it and tried to correct mysef but only managed to make myself sound like more of an idiot. I finished what I was trying to say anyway and gave myself a good smack for that.

I thinks it's "cree oy yo" as well, but think it sounds funny!
