I like the Brasilia quite a bit

I have had my share of this stick and would have to say sometimes there great and sometimes there just ok.

 

[Wigwam_Motel]

overall not bad of a stick, but for the price point on these things in a store, i would choose another stick over this. Almost a strong sweetness with a fantastic aroma.

I love the Italia, actually. But yea, I've never paid B&M prices. For $4/stick or less online, though, they're awesome to me. There is a flavor that's pretty unique to the Italia that I can't quite place but really like.

I've only had a couple Brazilias, they are good too. I've heard there is a lot of diversity among the various vitolas for the Brazilia, though I've only had one size.

The first one of these I had was free from the CAO rep, so it was exceptional. Just kidding. My b&m carries a pretty limited variety so when I am purchasing to smoke there, this is one of my "go to" cigars.

I havent had a bad one yet

 

[Electric Sheep]

it's ok....

That's pretty much my opinion of the Italia as well.

Thanks for the review. CAO's are on my list to sample.

 

[Penzip]

Thanks for the review, not a bad stick.

Had my first of these late last night, the Ciao. Nice, smooth smoke... definitely a sweetness to it.

I have had a few of the Italia, and they are ok... Had a few of the Brazilia, they too are ok...

I want one of the Bratalia, but cannot find those anywhere... might be an interesting one... Who knows.

I had my first Italia today, not a bad smoke. little too tightly packed for my taste, but a great wrap

 

[sascha]

one of the few cigars I truly hated, not my flavor at all

 

[unfairtoast]

one of the few cigars I truly hated, not my flavor at all

Thats exactly how I felt about the Brazilia.

 

[sascha]

i gave both of them an inch of my time but then it felt like smoking cow pie.
just amazing how everyone has different taste but yet comes to a common ground on some smokes.

 

[dpmrpa]

smoked both of them alot in the past. Burned out on them.

Agreed on every point. I keep a few of these around in the humi always.

Not a fan of the Brazilia at all though.

Oh yeah, nice pics man!

This is a great cigar but I like the Brazilia alot more! Especially the box press version!
