CAO Brazilia Cariocas

Has anyone ever tried these? I like the Brazilia and was wondering about these for a quick smoke.

I like them a lot, Rick. It really tastes like a full-size cigar, imvho, which is extremely rare in a stick this size (the only other one I've had that I can say that for is the tiny 601 Red). Rich, smooth, tasty. The CAO tins that I've had have all been good--Italia, MX2, etc--but the Brazilia takes the gold!

Thanks nj. That's the response I was hoping for. I’ll check my local B&M first but Tampa has tins for $11.95 and free shipping. :thumbsup:

I have smoked dozens. Very nice. Someone used to sell them in bulk...five or six tins for X

Are these long fill and just the scrap? I hate short fill it gets all in your teeth but if it is long fill I am definitely buying these so I can finally have an afternoon smoke right after chow and before class starts. I am too busy to smoke a normal stick but these look like the ticket.

Long filler.

That's great news.

long filler, HAND MADE cigars. Perfect for winter.

Last year I smoked one each time I shoveled the driveway ... a little explanation for CWS--when it's really cold, sometimes this white stuff falls from the sky and piles up on the ground, and you have to remove it in order to drive. "Why would anyone live in a place like that?" you ask? I ask myself that every winter, lol.

Well, you guys have me sold now its time to find a good deal.

I've scored them on cbid for $7-$9 / tin. Not a huge savings, but if you're bidding on other things to combine shipping, it's not bad. Of course, they don't always come up.

Thanks for the input guys. My local B&M didn't have them so I got a tin from Tampa for $11.95 along with a couple of other singles and free shipping on the whole order.

I have smoked them on several occasions. They are a great lunch time / smoke break cigar. There is a review in my column if you are interested.
