You smoke things other than Opus and Diamond Crown?

Bills a high roller.

Have only tried the Brazilia. I have an Italia and America in the humidor which will get smoked soon. I must say though, I am a big fan of the Brazilia so the other bands have big shoes to fill

I was really disappointed in the Americas I've had, Potomac and cant remember the other. Otherwise I'm really torn between Italia and Brazilia, Brazilia is definitely stronger and heavier smoke than Italia but the box-presss Italias are a great small cigar even if the really rectangluar shape has a weird mouthfeel. Have suggested the Italia to a few guys shopping at my local shop as a good introduction to a fuller cigar from some lighter stuff. Can barely remember the Criollos, may have to buy a few to refresh them memory soon.

I should have, but didn't. I went with the Braz'. I was torn, as I love them BOTH! The Criollo doesn't get near the press it deserves.

I am not a big fan of CAO with one exception, that being the Brazillia. The Italia has a high spit factor (trying to get that horrorable floral/herbal taste out of my mouth). MX2 tastes like it was at the bottom of the hold of a leaking freighter and is by far the saltiest cigar I have ever smoked. And Golds are just plain boring. With this track record, I doubt that I will waste my time and money on an America or Criollo unless they're gifted to me. Just my 2 cents

Brazilia is my favorite cigar period
