CAO Brazilia Box Press Review

I have never been a CAO fan but this cigar was gifted to me some time back and thought I would just take some time to see if this line of cigars would do anything for me. Wow! From the get go this cigar lit up with a punch of pepper and gobs of smoke that was so generous that I didn't have to strain at all. It smoked like this from the first puff to the last and I nubbed this sucker and wanted more after. It was one of those cigars you hate to end because the flavor was everything I love in a cigar, very satisfying. I found hints of wood in the first third of this stogie and also a taste of coffee and earth,,a slight musk towards the last third with some creamy chocolate. It was very easy to draw on and only needed one touchup. The last CAO I had left me with a very despondant view of this line but this one sure made up for it. At the great pricing for a box I will most assuredly get one and I would give this cigar a most generous 4.5 out of 5.

Re: CAO Brazilia Box Press

I like these too! Also grab an Italia box press and give it a run - very good as well!

Re: CAO Brazilia Box Press

Nice review. If you like those, you might want to try the Brazilia Samba. It's even better.

Re: CAO Brazilia Box Press

I agree with you on the CAO line. The only ones that are constantly great cigars are the Brazilia and Italia .

Re: CAO Brazilia Box Press

I got an amazon in a trade, now I feel more obligated to smoke it. Why does box-pressed taste better?

Re: CAO Brazilia Box Press

Thx for all of the updates and suggestions on this line of cigars. The more I looked into the different lines the more I want to try them,,,appreciate the Samba,,Italia and Amazon as I will definetly get a few of each. Who'd a thunk I'd be a CAO convert?
