Cigar Reviewed: CAO Brazilia

Smoked at: Carolinas

This 5 x 56 cigar is adorned with a bright band bearing colors of the Brazilian flag.The wrapper is very dark, sooth, and oily. The cold draw is very earthy with just a bit of natural sweetness. Once lit, the draw if firm, but good. On light up, the cigar was spicy with a strong coffee and earth flavors. Mid smoke, some dark chocolate developed along with more concentrated but balanced spice. The whole smoke brings occasional notes of toasty nuts. The cigar has a ton of flavor and tons of billowy smoke. It holds a long ash that burns slowly, especially at the very center of the stick. The construction is perfect. This is a great smoke when you're looking for something different and bold.
