CAO Brazilia Pirahna - Photo review

I've sampled a few of the cigars provided to be my Scud, but this is the 1st one that was nice... and it was very nice in fact.

The construction was perfect and the pre-light aroma was lovely. Fired it up and the first draw brought layers of smooth caramel-molasses. Delicous. The smoke and burn was just right, it didnt need touching up nor did it go out. The second half developed some power along with a pleasant cedar kick, but there was still a nice sweetness. Never any harshness or ammonia at all. Very impressed. Must get more. Enjoy the pics:

Great review, I'll have to pick up a 5 pack and give them a try. I love the Italia, I'm sure I'll love this one too.

Good job!

Re: CAO Brazilia Pirahna - Photo review

I have a few of these, just tried my first about 2 weeks go. I agree that is was quite good for a PC, which often don't have as much character as the larger sticks. But this was good.

I just got some of the Italias in the pc size as well. I usually prefer that blend, so hopefully these will be good

Awesome pics, nice review of a cigar I really enjoy. But now I have camera envy and feel unworthy to ever do a pictorial review again.
