CAO Brazilia Anaconda

I really love the flavor of the Brazilia line, but for the money, I would go with the Gol! or the Amazon. Both have the big ring gauge complexity, flavor and strength. This one had some burn issues (canoe'd) seen all too often with diadema shapes. It must be hard to get top flight rollers these days that can master this shape.

i have to admit in short that this cigar was quite awkward it was big, and black. If I wanted Big and Black in my mouth id commit a crime.

Smoked a pair of these blind. Construction was top, no wrapper problems, no burn issues, great draw. Taste was decidely milder than the Piranhas which I smoke a lot of. A great big smoke when you have time to kick off your shoes and relax.

I bought this as a lark. Typical to the Brazilia line, it is a great smoke. It is toward the strong side, which I prefer. Smooth burn, easy draw, even steady taste. One of favorites. Would definitely buy again.

This cigar, just as all of the CAO line has a great draw. That is the only positive thing that I can say, the Anaconda is too strong and too long, the other sizes of the Brazilia line are better cigars.

This cigar is big and has the shape of a perfecto. It is good, but not quite as full bodied as the amazon. It still has some good spice, and the draw is fairly smooth. However, they are new, and the one I had wasn't well rolled and part of the wrapper came off as soon as I opened it. THe flavor, I'd say is somewhere between the amazon and the CAO Odysessey perfecto

It had that unique Brazilia taste wich I really like. The draw was a little tight at firs but after the first inch it loosened up quite a bit and was perfect for the rest of the smoke. The burn was lazer straight. It is good for at least two and a half hours so smoke it when you know you have the time, but definately smoke it!
