CAO Brazilia Gol!

This is a mean looking smoke that is a great smoke.

Great construction, but flavor soured in the middle, then improved again with about 2 inches to go.

This is an awesome cigar. The size is good, It is consistantly well made and the flavor is incredible. Great after lunch smoke.

This is a great cigar. You get a chocolate/coffee/sweet taste to it. It burns perfectly and has some floral notes to it. It has a great looking wrapper as well.

Last year, I was disappointed with this cigar. Being a college soccer coach, I had to give a cigar with the name "Brazilia Gol" a second chance. So last night under the stars, after our first win of the 08 season, I fired one up. Well, with 17-18 months of humidor time, this cigar has become what the name implies. The appearance, burn and draw were excellent and the taste was unique and impressive. This was my last one, so I guess that means at least another year, before I can enjoy another? I believe that's what is called the "down side".

I stumbled on a great deal on the brazillia box press. This was a young, just from the B&M cigar that was bitter sweet with coffee and leather galore. It provided volumes of smoke. I think at msrp this would be an ok cigar and one that i would buy on occasion. At the price i paid this would be a go to all day any time smoke.

Excellent draw with lots of smoke. Burn became uneven towards the end. Good full bodied flavor with kind of a leathery and slight semi sweet profile.

Dark oily wrapper, lit easily and provided ample volumes of pleasant smelling smoke. Perfect draw, burn was straight. As others have noted, rich earthy flavors of chcolate and sweet coffee, little bit of spice. Complex cigar, medium/full body and medium strength.

Very nice apperance and perfect contruction and burn for a cigar with just one week of humi time im lookingg foward to try it after some aging time, nice sweet cofee earthy and dark chocolate flavor very complex to..nice cigar..

Just plan phenomenal.

If you like dark cigars with a lot of character, you'll like the brazilia on any level. I've found the sizes to have consistent flavor, even the cariocas.

You're going to taste a lot of dark chocolate, coffee, and spice. I always say, if brazilian music had a flavor, it would be this cigar - Sort of rambunctious and sweet. This cigar is comparable to the Rocky Patel Edge, or Torano Virtuoso, though it possesses a slightly more aggressive character.

A good cigar, loved the flavor and aroma. Sweet and rich, with a hint of spice. Light gray ash, but not very firm. Everything was going great, but at the halfway mark the wrapper split and I had to take it off completely. Even with no wrapper, the cigar smoked well and the flavor was still pleasant!

This has to be one of the very best looking cigars on the market. I also have found the flavor to be to my liking, and have not experienced a single problem with draw or construction. A pleasurable experience from initial 'ignition' to final 'flame out', ample smoke, long ash, and fairly consistent throughout. I would consider this to be an 8.5 or better, and while the price is a bit on the high side, you'll find several in my humidor right now. A great partner for a relaxed evening smoke, and in my book, another CAO masterpiece.

I like the look of the cigar the most. It burns good and has a nice flavor. Toward the end of the cigar it gives a burnt taste that is a bit much for me. I find that with most CAOs if you leave in the humidor a bit longer they are better.

What was once a firey chili pepper of a smoke has been reduced to a pedestrian cigar with dashes of greatness overwhelmed by the flavor of selling out. Bring back the old blend! Restore the spice! We want flavor not lifestyle!

This is a nice cigar and i am not even a big fan of the dark maduro wrappers. Tasted spicy with a lot of other flavors that resulted in a rich complex smoke with enough kick to keep me awake. Good construction,draw and burn made it a satisfying cigar,i am buying more for sure.

I understand the blend has been changed since I smoked this last. If so, it would explain why it was considerably less spicy. I miss that. Still, it is a delicious cigar. Medium body and strength. Lots of smoke, strong ash, delightful aroma, slight spice, nice coffee and wood flavors. Looking forward to the toro next.

This is quite a beauty...Solid build with plenty of smoke and very flavorful through and through. I will def smoke these again soon. Overpriced where I got them however.

First time I've tried this cigar. I've been looking at it at my local B&M. Beautiful looking, smelling cigar on prelight. Started out spicy. Definitely woke up my palate. About half way through it mellowed and became dull. At the beginning I thought this was going to be an all-star smoke. Decent smoke, would probably by more and leave them in the humi for a while

I guess you'll have to shoot me. After almost 6months in my humidor I had high expectations for this dark beauty. Being a college soccer coach and international soccer fan with a name like Gol I thought this stick would score big in every catagory. I waited until my first win of the season and then sat down under the stars one night to savor a Gol. I was quite disappointed. It was a beautiful, well-constructed cigar like most CAO's, but the taste was good, not great, not fabulous not even very good. Just good. I will say it was complex with many flavors. I just wasn't wild about any of them. If you remember the last World Cup the USA Team had a lot of hype but couldn't deliver big. This cigar reminds me more of that team then the terrific teams of Brazil.

Still haven't met one I didn't like. The look, taste, smell, and everything else about this line is so impressive. Especially considering how economical they are. I am partial to maduros, but for the dollar, these can't be beat. Easy draw, volumes of smoke, and even burn are consistent qualities.

Great stick from CAO, I got alot of mocha/coffee flavors from it. It stayed very consistent and true. I just can't stop buying these damn Brazilia's.

This is one of my go-to-cigars. Consistently well made, and very nice flavor. I'm not the best at picking out flavors, but...coffee, creamy, with just a touch of sweetness. I always enjoy these.

This cigar is well made, it burned well, it had depth of flavor, and a nice ratio of flavor to smoke! But I didn't like the flavor!

After the experience with the Vision, I was not looking forward to trying this cigar. In fact left it in the humi for an extra month not wanting a repeat performance. What a surprise! Well constructed, flavorful and lots of smoke. This is a winner in my book and at a reasonable price.

Good looking, and very flavorful. It is one of my favorites, and usually is smoked down to the nub.

This smoke caught me off guard, I expected a real spicy fat dark taste but I was hit with a very smooth mellow taste the whole way down. I will definitely smoke this again. Nice

I thought that the smaller Brazilia was way better than the Samba (torpedo) version from the same line. I would have to guess ambient temperatures altered the experiences.

Have been smoking these for a couple of years. They used to be great, but lately have had some constuction and consistancy issues. Has a nice cedar wood flavor with a touch of spice.

OK if you are looking for something with full flavor. Wrapper is dark and well constructed. Flavor was one-dimensional, primarily expresso and leather. One sweet note of caramel. Burn was even and produced a nice ash. Generated lots of smoke but I found the draw a little loose. Wasn't as earthy as I liked, meaning it left little on palate besides the leathery taste.

Bought in Sweden.

Had a box of these sitting in the humi for just over a year. Took one out this morning and WOW!, this was one of the better gars I have had in awhile. Burn was a little uneven, which is not uncommon in my experience with CAOs, but everything else was exceptional. Nice flavors that remained consistent all the way down. Loved it.

This cigar looks incredible, and smokes very well. A nice Gol! Pele would be proud.

Here's a cigar that more than lives up to its reputation! Absolutely beautiful dark wrapper offset by a fun, colorful wrapper. Pre-smoke aroma is rich and inviting, and once lit, the flavors get even better. Complex flavors with a really pleasant, rich sweetness. My only quibble was that the cigar didn't burn super straight, but not a big deal considering how tasty it was! Will eventually buy a box of these!

This cigar was gorgeous; great draw; very deep peppery taste; loads of smoke with a great burn. Can't wait for another!

Very nice looking wrapper, next to no veins and an AWESOME dark color. I LOVE dark wrappers. Had good draw and burn. Didnt need to be touched up at all. Had a ton of flavor but i was hoping it would be a lil more full. Very good non the less.

Good smoke burnt uneven at first but easy to fix, spicy and full bodied a good 20 to 30 min smoke

beautiful deep dark chocolate wrapper; super great smell and draw pre-light; a bit spicy, but not unpleasant, some anise, deep wood and leather- medium-full bodied- good smoke volume

a fricken A+

Beautiful dark, oily wrapper. Good burn/ash. Typical CAO quality. Leather, cedar, smooth. Reminds me of the Soprano's edition. 1 hour plus, w/ a glass or two of 3 Blind Moose Chardonnay on the back porch-nice smoke.

I have to say that this is the best Brazilian out there right now. The Gol! has a wonderful fat ring gauge and is dark as midnight. The flavors are very cocoaish and full with just the right amount of smoothness. Should have bought more, plan on doing it though!

I liked these before but I love them now. 4 years + aging = 1 incredible smoke.

I had my eye on this cigar for some time and after reading all of the positive reviews here i went out and had one. All i can say is this cigar is a must have. The cigar is filled with flavor and is a pleasure from start to finish. Had a bit of an uneven burn, but nothing too bad. Def. go out and try one.

What a stick. I had one the day I ordered a 5-pack, and had another 3 months later. Great both times. Had myself a large bold cup of coffee, and spent a great hour+ on the front porch. Smooth, great even burn and flavors. Way better than the italia. A box is on the way.

After about a dozen of these over the past year, I think they are a definite solid "8", even higher when the price is right. Solid stick, bold flavors, quality construction/burn.

Nine more months of box time and the flavors are getting even better. I didn't think that was possible because the flavor was excellent two weeks after I laid this box down. Although last nights stick burnt unevenly and turned a bit harsh in the last half-inch (what cigar doesn't?) everything else was top notch.
This is one artfully blended, smooth, tasty, and attractive maduro. I bet this is in everyone's top 25. I currently have it at 19. Once again, a must have cigar for your box. Value rating based upon $4.

After the tremendous dissappointment that was the CAO Italia, the Brazilias I've had have redeemed CAO in my eyes. A few veins on the wrappers. Great construction and burn, medium-bodied with a rich palate of leather, cedar, cocoa, and spiciness. This is an awesome maduro for the money and one of CAO's best.

This is a superbly constructed, perfect cigar. Although some of them tend to be full-bodied, the lion's share of them are solid medium-bodied, and consnstently excellent. Nice ash, although I'm usually too busy to appreciate it and let it burn to it's fullest extent.

I've liked the little pirannah's but this is obviously a much mroe dense smoke, which actually burned well, looked very dark and oily, smelled great, etc. etc.

A sweet, oily black beauty waiting to be caressed. From the first draw to the the reluctant last, this is a consistent pleasure to smoke. A true example of artful blending. I'll always have these on hand.

These should be in your humidor. Attractive, well made, a joy to smoke, very tasty. COA has found a nice Nicaraguan filler and binder to compliment the Brazilian wrapper. Some find these mild, some full.
I find them to be medium bodied and differently delicious. I paid about $4/stick. A solid value.

Construction and appearance are among the best I've ever experienced. The flavor was a bit too spicy for the first half dozen draws or so, but after that, smooth as silk. Lots of thick tasty smoke. The burn was long and even. The beautiful white ash looks fantastic against the dark toothy wrapper. One of my top 5 for sure.

My mouth watered at the thought, and my anticipation was rewarded from the very first draw. Had to adjust the burn a few times, though. Nonetheless, I can't wait to dig into the rest of 'em!

For the most part, a ring guage of 50 is about it for my comfort zone. I received this cigar in a promotional pack from Thompson. This was the last one I smoked, because of the large size I figured I was in for a headache. I was wrong. This cigar was manageable and was smooth as silk. The flavors were full of spice and even a little fruit! The draw and burn were perfect as well. I still doubt I will purchase these unless a great deal comes along. It is just that my Dor space is just too limited. Man, I need to invest in a cabinet humidifier or walk in humidor...oooo...that would be great.

🙂

pretty good cigar...nice and full with a good finish

Great medim bodied cigar. It has a smooth draw, great construction with a firm ash. THe flavor is medium bodied with a nutty spicy flavor. Not too pricey for the quality.

I got this stick at my local tobaccolist .Being that CAO is a top brand of cigar I took some puffs of this fine cigar and was amazed again that CAO cannot fail in their blends. The flavor was mild fom start to finish and I almost burnt my fingers to the nub trying to get more puffs of this fine stogie .

GREAT every day smoke

this cigar was a real joy to smoke. great full flavored taste, good burn and draw. highly recommended.

Have been dying to try these. Had to wait a few weeks until one of these sticks was ready. Last night one was. Nice shiny dark wrapper, stick was just right to the touch. Prelight aroma was nice but very different. I smelt the jungle in this. Started out very mild with some expresso and pepper cool mild overtones. The gobs of smoke experience was mild to medium in body and power to me. The overall taste was nice...a tad one dimensional but it was a dimension I thoroughly enjoyed. Basic coffee, pepper, spice, some jungle wood. This stick also burnt and smoked like a champ. I left it for more than 5 minutes to talk on the phone. When I came back she was still going. Stick lasted an hour and 20 minutes. Finish and aftertaste was suprisingly rich and full...kind of snuck up on me. Just one Damn fine smoke here.

Excecpt the for the "mothers feet" reference-- I want to echo ToroTom- he described it well.
An excellent cigar. Should be in everyones humidor.

A nice solid stump of tobacco. Prelight this smells almost as rich as the Rocky Patel Sun Grown. Like a well tended old boot. Mmmmm... First light shows very good construction, which stayed fine to the end. A rich, but not very complex flavor-- similar to, but deeper, than an ERDM robusto. The finish is a little tarry for my taste. The band says "Feito a mao" which my very best Brazilian buddy tells me means "Feet of my Mother." Makes perfect sense. Here's looking at you, Ma!

First CAO I've tried and it sure lived up to it's reputation. Oily wrapper, white ash and a nice spicy flavor. I want a box!!!

I love this cigar ... bought a box. Great looking with a big vein going down the middle which you can see as the cigar burns. A bit large on the gauge, but the body is a solid medium without any harshness. Has some pepper/spice and exotic flavors that are awesome. Has a very unique flavor to this line that I love. Even leaves a nice after-taste. The box I bought is a bit immature so I'm letting it sit before I enjoy every last one.

I was totally impressed with this stick. Excellent construction. Burn and ash was among the finest I've ever had. I would describe the flavor as woody spice with hints of nut on the finish. Smoked this baby till my lips burned from the heat. This will become a regular weekend cigar for me. I recomend this cigar highly, and can't wait to smoke the next one. This is everything a good cigar should be.

Similar to the Exaclibur 1066 Dark Knight. Beautiful wrapper, great smoke and nice draw. Flavor ended a little spicer than the DK. Overall a great smoke!

very solid. beauiful wrapper, very dark and oily. decent burn. draw was a little loose, but not bad. consistent flavors throughout: peppery, leather, wood, nutty, and leather. really nice kick to it. only other size i had was the piranha, and the piranha had the same consistent flavor, but with a little bit more of a spicy taste IMHO. very good smoke though overall.

This is one of a few cigars that I have to keep in the humidor. When I'm not quite sure what I want to smoke, I reach for this stick and am never dissapointed. The medium bodied cigar is well constructed and has a beautiful oily wrapper. It lights, burns, and draws well down to the band and produces a lovely smoke and beautiful light ash. It has a unique flavor and complexity due to the blending and brazillian wrapper tobacco.

Flavorless beginning except for a salty taste on the cap. Had to adjust the burn a couple of times. It then took on a woody flavor and went out. After relighting it appears there was a stem or something stuck in it. Good looking cigar but all in all it was not a very good experience.

... and excellent smoke. Looked great, tasted great, smelled great. Spicey start quickly became medium-bodied. Very tight roll, had to cut it twice. Stem right up the middle. I had to correct the burn about half-way through.

I really really like these. Really flavorful and with a good burn and...just good all around. 8+

This is a good cigar. Strong, but not overpowering. Rich, full flavors -- starts off with a bang and quickly mellows out. Can be bought very reasonably on the 'net.

This stick was very nice, with a fat ring and lots of big white smoke. The foot lit well and held a even ash. The wrapper was dark and very oily and left a good taste on the lips. The notes were chewy with spicy toasty overtones,and some coffe with earth. A must try medium to full smoke.

This Stout Stogie has a dark and beautiful wrapper, with a large ring. The larger ring allowed the flavors to balance out, and tempered the wrapper keeping it a mid body smoke. CAO always has a good presentation, with flawless construction and burn, and the ring on this stick resembled a soccer jersey befitting of Brazil. Each new CAO I try is a uniquely, pleasurable experience. As far as I’m concerned CAO is the best and most consistent cigar manufacturer currently on the market, they never disappoint. Sure, there are better cigars out there, but the entire CAO line is superb quality, and there are no dogs that I’ve found yet. Now on to the Italia line stay tuned…

Ya know, I tried these about a year ago and they were ok. I don't know what happened since then, but man are these good! Screw the evening routine, I think these make a great morning cigar. Smooth, rich, mild, sweet, and flavorful - everything a great maduro should be. Very impressed.

This is one of those great looking sticks you admire in your humidor...beautifully wrapped, stout, dark cigar. This baby smoked and burned evenly throughout with a full, almost sharp flavor that lost it's edge near the nub. Definitely recommend!

Burn Uneven but stays cool down to the nub. Medium flavor with hints of chocolate and raisins. Good draw, nice feel and scent.

I really like the pre light smell of these dark beauties. Haven't had any burn issues with these,they've been quite consistant in flavor and amount of smoke. I'm not much on flavor complexities. I just know if I like them or not and I sure do like these. Tasty and a go to smoke for me.

Found one of these in my humidor and after smoking had to write a 2nd review. This smoked dead on even with plenty of flavorfu smoke and did not run hot or uneven like the first. Medium to full smoke and would look forward to smoking again. Maybe the first I received was not taken care of properly.

I liked this one...but at the price, you can do better with a Sancho Panza for example. Nothing to complain about, just nothing outstanding. A couple in the box so far with a tough draw. Can't complain, just can't rave. A little sweet, not one-dimensional in flaovr, but not complex either.

This is an OK cigar, marked for me by the collision of two opposites. It is very flavorful, and with some very nice flavors, but it lacks richness and subtlety. I kept wanting more form it...more smoke, more volume, more richness and creaminess. It refused to budge. It happily offered up a nice inoffensive mix of coffee and cocoa, but that was it. Nothing more, nothing less. Kind of a shame in such a big bold shape and label.

On the construction side it was very nice, obviously well rolled, firm and even from end ot end, and a respectable burn. I just kept wishing it was more than it was.

Full-on cocoa and earthy start, turning milder and toasty. Good 50 minute burn and even ash. The only detraction is the "stinky stogie" aftertaste, which took almost a day to go away. Otherwise a quite outstanding cigar. I'll probably try another in the line to see if the aftertaste is just an artifact of the Gol!

Newbie to the cigar world. Tried the Gol on a whim. Was expecting a brutal experience with a "full body" smoke. Pleasently surprised. Spent an hour and a half with this one. Good character, lots of smoke, subtle complexity, good draw and a fairly even burn. I'll go back to this one when I've got more experience!

this is an ok cigar and worth a try but i really like the italia much better. the oils are good and it is a pretty strong cigar but somewhat disappointing.

These are great smokes but at about 5 bucks per by the box they're not cheap. Lovely wrapper smells great, solidly rolled. I've had a few burn problems with these as well, but not after they've slept in a humidor for a few months. Has that Brazilia mix of sweet maduro flavors and medium body. Nice.

Put these down a year ago and since May I kinda forgot about them. Rumaging for a smoke to enjoy during the 2nd half of the SEC Championship game, I scored a Gol. Man it was like hey why haven't I smoked these already? Still spicy/peppery for the first half inch developing into a med-full coffee/tobacco flavor or some thing like that. Hell all I can say is it tastes great, smokes smooth and puts a buzz on me that I really enjoy.

This is a very good cigar. Solid construction, nice appearance, reliable and smooth burn. Very full-flavored but not overpowering. Spicy, very rich and flavorful. Smoked to the nub with only 1 tap of the ash. Great cigar.

These cigars are great...not just for the price, but they do the trick nicely.The Brazil wrapper gives it a unique taste and the draw is just right. Almost unbeatable at the price.

Great Cigar. Bought a box 3 weeks agao, and put them in the humidor. Today, I tried the first one, and thought it was wonderful. The flavor and complexity were first rate, but I had one of those nagging uneven burns. I burned my fingers finishing it. I hope the uneven burn problem is a"few in the box" problem. However, the smoke was great and overcame the construction issues.

This a great smoke that tastes great and has a wonderful aroma. This is an affordable smoke that has never disappointed from start to finish.

I love this cigar! Take your time with this one and enjoy it's complex flavors. Very earthy and spicy...a little chocolate flavor too.

I lit this up while I was cutting the grass. I got about 3-4 mins into my grass mowing and I thought, "WOW". I quickly turned off the lawn mower and pulled up a chair. I wanted to enjoy this chocolate beauty unimpeded. Wonderful smoke with chocolate and coffee on the tongue. From start to finish, this stick had an easy draw and balanced smoke. This was a cool burner, giving me an hour of smoking delight. Much to the chagrin of my wife who was expecting me to cut the grass. This is a must for anyone who enjoys maduros. This robusto kicks ass.

It started off with a little spice and became a wonderful aromatic cigar. It has a chocolate base taste and you could just tell this cigar was loved by the aging on it. I recommend

This is a wonderful smoke, and with all Brazilias it has an amazing aroma to it and a great taste. The cigar looks great, but I have had a few that burnt unevenly, though it hasn't been much of a problem.

This cigar is a must have in any humidor. The fat ring size and lovely dark wrapper you almost want to eat it. The notes are just lovely with spice and coco, the burn was very even till the very end. A must have every day smoke.

I was very excited to try a few of these dark beauties but was disappointed overall. Very inconsistent burn from one to the next. CAO needs to work on quality control. Flavor was pretty good, but the thing turned my mouth black. Not talking a little. A lot. Looks to me like CAO has enhanced these "dark" wrappers. Dye anyone?

I enjoyed this smoke as it is very flavorful and complex in the tastes it delivered. Smoked it all the way down.
Downside - Had uneven burn problems and was a little hot at times.

Good looking, great tasting, strong and spicy. CAO has put together a great line here. Burns a bit uneven at times, but great in the evening with a good beer or strong drink.

It had been in the humidor for 2 months, it looked beautiful but burned slightly unevenly...it smoked away on a Sunday evening, gone but not forgotten. What a beautiful cigar, full of flavour; it tasted (almost) like a cuban, which isn't faint praise....

This was my first smoking of the Brazilia line. What an experience it was. Very full bodied and it was a very enjoyable smoke. It had an even burn and a smooth draw. It moves into the top 5 on my list.

Good refreshing smoke, nice complexity. Great construction, even burn, smoked to a nub.

Started out a little harsh but mellowed out. Nice spicy flavor but not very complex. No bad aftertatse.

very smooth with a lot of spice and some sweetness to it. medium cigar with a mild and very pleasant finish

Always consistant. IMO C.A.O's best! Medium to full with intense flava that really mellows down 1/2 way thru. Not for the mild fans.

I've smoked for 20 years. Not sophisticated where I taste nuts, coffee, leather, coco and all that. I smoke like some people drink beer. They never say it tastes like oats, hops, clover etc. It just tastes good like this cigar. Excellent CIGAR flavor.

Excellant Cigar! Aged for 3 months in humidor, smelled great, very spicey and lots of flavor. No bad aftertaste. Medium to full bodied.

Man, what can I say, this is the 23rd review. I keep about two box's on hand. This cigar has a floral spicy smell with never a bitter after taste. Flavor is light but these (To me) smell almost like an aromatic cigar. I don't like CAO as a whole, but I'll always buy this cigar.

The Brazilian line is one of CAO's best and this cigar is no exception. Smooth, spicy, rich and sweet. As good as the Amazon only shorter. Great construction appearance and burn. A truly great, top shelf robusto.

I was astounded by this cigar. I was looking for the Piranha, but my store only had Gols, so I took one.

Supposedly, the wrapper is natural, but it looks like something between a colorado and a maduro. Guess that's because it's that weird Brazilian tobacco.

It's fat, at 5 x 56. Feels hard, but not box pressed.

Took a while to get it lit, but it burned beautifully, at least until I got halfway down, where it started to go a little off course. Perfect white ash. Thick smoke.

If I had not known it was a CAO, I would have assumed it was a Cuban, although it doesn't look like one. The closest thing to it in my experience is a Romeo y Julieta EL Exhibicion #2. It has the same chocolaty taste, and a good dose of spice. Very complex.
Somewhere between the taste of a maduro and a natural.

It got slightly bitter at one point, but it cleared up, and I smoked it until I could no longer hold onto it. It lasted around 50 minutes. When I finally put it down, I stared at it for a minute and wondered if it had really been that
good.

Full-bodied cigar, decent flavors and smoothness. Would smoke again, won't buy a box though.

Tasty smoke, only problem is that it's too small -- I smoked it to the nub in no time. I'll stick with Amazons so the experience lasts longer, but if you are in the mood for a relatively short smoke, this won't disappoint. Rich, dark wrapper, thick smoke, excellent burn. Viva Brazilia!

For someone who has not fell in love with any of the other CAO products, this one stole my heart. Deep spice and dark wood. Toasted cherries with chocolate sauce and nutmeg sprinkled ontop. Line your humidor with this one if you like full flavor.

Okay well after raving about the Amazon, this guy comes in 2nd. The Samba (yet to write the review) is third. What can I say a very nice cigar, powerful, medium to full bodied, Very GOOD draw, not tight at all, good thick white ash, the only problem I have had was tunneling, and even after relighting it tunneled again. But stilll a very nice cigar ( tasted two of them and both tunneled). Outside that great little/big cigar.

not as good as the samba. seemed a little rough around the edges. good burn. draw a little tight.

got a great buy on these beauties-smooth throughout-full of flavor just a wee bit hot towards the end,but well worth the price and time to smoke it-you should try one soon,you won't be sorry

This is one of my current favorites. The flavor is complex, rich and full, changing as you progress thru it. I bought a box and so far all have been great. I can't think of a better cigar for the money, 64.95/20. Awesome.

What a find, this cigar looks like it means business. Very good looking with a rich dark wrapper with nice veins. The Go is a tightly wrapped, and is meticulously constructed. I couldn’t wait to smoke this one. After cutting the Go, I took a draw, unlit, and it was far too easy to pull through almost just like breathing. After I lit this one up I had to slop it up a bit to make it draw a bit harder, this all worked itself out after getting about 2 inches into the cigar. Massive amounts of flavor and spice, it ran the gamut with peppery, coffee, nutty, and chocolate overtones. A little too much spiciness for my pallet, but very exciting (like eating hot wings that are too hot for you). The Go burned perfectly and held an ash almost 2 inches. This one got hot on me a little early, but had consistent flavor too the end. For sure the most powerful CAO I have tried yet. I give this one a buzz factor of about a 7. I bought this one from a local retailer for $6.50 reading about them in a cigar catalog. BOTTOM LINE: big flavor, very spicy, dark, solid, full power, this one is all business.

Must have died and gone to heaven. I thought the Partagas Pyramid was good. This one is even better. Just like the Energizer Bunny. This stick keeps going and going. Hated to put it out. This one has a flavor that reminds me Hersey Bar and Man! Do I love Chocolate; especially towards the end. In my book, close to a 91.

Beautiful construction. Rock solid. Slightly veined. Nice cut.
Incredibly easy draw on it, almost too easy at first. The thing was literally smoking itself for the first inch. More smoke than on any cigar I've had to date.
It settled down as the cigar warmed up and left it as a powerful spicy tasting nutty toasty smoke with, still, huge quantities of smoke, but a little more controlable.
Really superb the whole way down, with a suprisingly lack of bitterness in the aftertaste considering it's flavors. This is like the Big daddy of the punch rothschild.
My kind of Cigar.

Started off a little harsh but got smoother as it burned. Wrapper and binder split after about half way through.

C.A.O. and the Brazilia cigars are a step from what most have had when smoking a C.A.O. This was one of the most falvorful cigars I have had. Hint of coffee, and spicy to the end!

This is the most flavor I have ever gotten from a CAO. If I was looking for a differnt type smoke for the night this would be it.

man...this is a good smoke. The fist 1/2 inch or so was a little peppery, and then it just settled into a nice creamy smoke. nice construction, but burned a little uneven. hard to keep lit about 3/4 of the way down.

A powerhouse of a cigar. All that flavor in this pughy, but long lasting stump of a cigar. Good construction and strong appearance. Enjoy this gem.

NICE SIZE,LOOK AND FLAVORFUL..

Perfect construction! Beautiful wrapper and perfectly cylindrical. First puff gave a hit of peppery smoke. Some floral notes (constant in all the Brazilias) with a mild coffee flavor. Med-bodied. Peppery flavor remained until the end. Good smoke with an interesting floral note.
