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.
