Review Notes: Burn was great for such a little sucker. Ash was hanging on till I decided to drop it or risk a lap mess. Taste was not very strong or harsh, smooth and peppery and some leather. No touch ups needed or corrections needed throughout the smoke. Overall pleased with taste to value. I might have a different review than others, although small, all my smokes rest in my box a a minimum of 3 months before being lucky enogh to get torched.

Review Notes: I've said it before. I'll say it again. these Brazilias are some of the best cigars I've tried. My brother-in-law cracked open a tin of these and we lit 'em up. Burn was excellent with an ash that hung on like a tick on a baby goat's backside. OK that wasn't a very good simile, but you get the picture. I'll play it safe and plagiarize the flavor from inRI: a unique mixture of caramelized sugars, cream, cocoa and pepper. Yup. That nails it.

Review Notes: I tried the Italia before. I liked it, but found the Italia rather mild. So ordered one tin of the Brazilia's. WOW. this is the one. what an excellent taste and aroma ! it has spots on the wrapper but found it very distinguiseg in my opinion. I ordered a full box after smoking just one.

Review Notes: The cariocas come in tins of five, but I bought this one on its own for about $3.00. The wrapper was a little blotchy, and on giving the cigar a squeeze I found it to be a bit unevenly filled. However, the flavor more than made up for this stogie’s aesthetic imperfections. Unlit, the taste was peppery and spicy. The first few puffs of smoke, however, were distinctly sweet and creamy. About two minutes into the cigar, the pepper came back, and about half the smoke was a delicious and unique mixture of caramelized sugars, cream, cocoa and pepper. As I got down to the end, the creaminess faded, leaving behind mostly pepper and leather. At the very finish, a pleasant smokiness came into the aftertaste, topping off a great morning cigar.

Review Notes: I have now gone through half a dozen of the neat tin boxes of this pleasant and very handsome cigar. I used to have some concerns about the draw, but I must admit that I was wrong. This is a very pleasant small-sized cigar - rich, smooth, stimulating and in every way an enjoyable smoke. I get all the subtle aromas and flavors out of it, but it is so so good looking and simply seducing! I havae also noticed that this beauty is a great 'first' for less experienced cigar smokers. It simply pleases me!
