Review Notes: I smoked at least 5 inches worth of Samba. I must mention also that I have kept this cigar for about a year before smoking. I do advise this for all cigars, but in this case it really served to abate the spicy character of the Brazilia. Since CAO changed the blend in this line it has been somewhat less spicy anyway but it is a better cigar for it. The wrapper is sweet and toothy. Excellent, straight burn with strong gray ash and perfect draw. Buy some and put them away.
