CAO Brazilia

[joshskorton]

I have never been this disappointed in a cigar. Seriously. But I had a good run of tasty cigars.

Josh, give this stick another try but go for the Brazilia Box-Press

That poses the question, "Why would I support a company that can't put out a consistent cigar?" I might give a box pressed Brazilia a try, but after that I think I'm done with the Brazilias. From all the responses I've gotten it seems that allot of folks have had the same experience, I find that disheartening in a company such as CAO. But that's just me. CAO needs to spend more time putting out consistent cigars, and less time (and money) advertising in C.A.

well everyone has their own opinion on cigars, and kinda nice to see someone give an honest review, seems there are too many..."its good" out there, and raving reviews than people bagging on the stick. Good work

Being a big Brazilia fan, I would say the one you tried is my least favorite of the line. Not a huge fan of the box pressed either. Give the Piranha or the GOL a try and I think you might re-asses your opinion of the line.

First one I had, was great... I literally smoked a second right after that (just minutes after finishing the first) and it was crap... I got a third at a local Cigar Fest, it was in my humidor maybe a week, and it was pimp...

I'm not sure what to think about the Brazilia..,.

its a great cigar, you could have had a bad experience because humidity issues last night i took a Brazillia toro out of my humi and the stick crack up the center and thats the only time i had a problem with them, also the longer stay in the humi the better they get

I'd like to think it was humidor issue, but I have soooooooooo many cigars with absolutely no problems in there. This sucker did have an inch or so crack from the cap down, though. I think I will try a few different shapes, and age one in the humidor. I don't like smoking bad cigars that could have potential, so I'll be intent on redeeming this smoke.
