I'm sitting on a box of the Millenniums. These are great sticks.
One of the best NC cigars I've ever smoked. I loved it.

I've smoked 1 65th and thought it was pretty good. With all of the CAO deals going on you should be able to stock up.

Criollo's and Brazil's are good. I've got my eye on a Soprano sampler that keeps going down in price at one of the B&M's in the area, I may have to splurge for it one day.

Those are my faves as well although I liked the Italias and Americas as well.

I like the Brazilia...its was my first ever box purchase. Speaking of, I should probably buy another quickly before the company turns to shit.

The only ones I've had are the MX2 and the La Traviata, both Maduro and not. Great price and all are great sticks. I'd like to get a box of each before anything changes.

On another forum that I used to frequent, everybody had their panties in a bunch over the Escaparates. I have not had any but I did find some of the old Extremes at a local and picked up a couple of those. I have enjoyed the Criollo, LX2, MX2 and Italia. Was not too impressed with the America, Brazilia, and the one La Traviata that I had was extremely peppery and FULL strength. Not sure if that was an anomoly but it was enjoyable, just a little too strong for my tolerance.

Found a box of the CAO Blacks for $80.00 which is a good deal, they are normally around $120.00. I really like these cigars.

If anyone is interested in a 5er LMK, I'm selling 2 five packs.

Almost got some Visions for dirt cheap but they were sold out :"(

My first CAO was a Black, and I still like 'em, especially with morning coffee. La Traviata rocks for me, and I've been known to spark up a Brazilia as well.

My first CAO was the Brazilian and I really liked it. I don't know if my taste has changed or the blend but it is not as good as I remember.

I have a couple CAO's in my humidor, and they are definitely a decent every day smoke. The quality has slipped a little recently, and CAO's are notoriously plagued with burn issues. So far the few I have smoked from a recent cuban box press sampler I purchased a couple months ago have been nice, and no burn issues (knock on humidor).

Gotta agree with Slave here...

I've got at least a dozen empty Piranha boxes in the garage right now.

Slowly adding empties of the LX2 Bam's....only 3 so far...
