mashedpotatoes from Dublin, OH reviewed the TASTE OF CAO ASSORTED SAMPLER
For the price this is one of the best samplers out there. I was new to CAO before this sampler. I got my sampler a few months back so I received a few different types in my batch. The CAO Cameroon became one of my all-time favorite smokes, it was perfect in every way. The Brazilia probably being my 2nd fav out of this bunch. Few of the cigars were a bit too firm for my liking but it was still worth the price of admission here. I would definitely buy this bundle again.

no real nickname from ohio reviewed the TASTE OF CAO ASSORTED SAMPLER
I smoke cigars a few times a week and look for ones that are not harsh, have a good - and lasting - flavor to them, and are aromatic. CAO cigars, with the exception of Brazilia, fit that bill terrifically.

Treading on ground few others would dare, Cano Ozgener has succeeded in successfully putting together a most unlikely pairing, a Cuban-seed Nicaraguan filler and a black as midnight Brazilian Arapiraca wrapper. Made in Danli, Honduras. Brazilia is truly a cosmopolitan cigar and one that delights the eye as well as the taste buds, so much so that we predict it will soon be earning the rating accolades so typical of all C.A.O. products. Yes, Brazilia is a cigar on the rise. Both the Arapiraca wrappers and Nicaraguan fillers are aged to perfection then expertly combined by skilled torcedores and set aside for months to allow the flavors to slowly marry into a smoothness that is the envy of the industry. C.A.O. selected only large ring gauge sizes to appeal to the connoisseur who craves a wide screen breadth of flavor.

Takes awhile to get a nice even puff but once your there it really is nice. Almost a little too spicy... but if you're into that sort of thing go for it. In my opinion CAOs 2nd best cigar next to the LX2. If you enjoy this cigar please try the LX2: which in my opinion is the best cigar i have smoked to date. Enjoy
