Review

A must-try for fans of full-bodied maduros. Regardless of their name, CAO Brazilias are made in Honduras, from Nicaraguan filler and binder -– but the wrapper is genuinely Brazilian.

The most popular are the robusto Gol! and the torpedo Samba. Rounding out the line are Ipanema, Carioca, Lambada, the shorty Piranha, Chango, Amazon and Anaconda.

Drawn by high ratings from different publications, I sampled the CAO Brasilia Gol!  It is unusually attractive, a dark beauty with gleaming skin and strong spicy flavor. In all, a rich, smooth smoke that tastes like samba sounds: sexy.

You want a great smoke? Try this cigar. Serious, dark, and scarily serious, the CAO Brazilia Gol is sure to intimidate the less confident. The construction is clean, sharp, and neat; the flavor full-bodied and no-nonsense. And the combination of rich black pepper and strong coffee decides that this dude isn't one for inanity and small talk

The CAO Brazilia is a great smoke. The robusto is the perfect size and taste for that 45 minute smoke. My favorite daily smoke.

There are no problems regarding the draw and burn of the CAO Gol, which is common among CAO Brazilia cigars. When it comes to the taste, the cigar possesses a consistent flavor with an overlying spicy profile. Starts off a bit harsh on the first third and get its spunk subdued on the second due to the emergence of the cocoa flavor. However, a few lay claim that the smoke finally loses everything in the uninteresting third of the smoke due to its mildness. Still, the top-notch construction of this full-bodied smoke is better experienced more than anything else

You don't need to like soccer to love this cigar. A rich, tasty, memorable smoke that I will always keep on hand. Big full-bodied flavor, with no harsh surprises – what can I say, it's definitely a score.
