Amazing, really loved this cigar despite the fact that it EXPLODED toward the end (pictures on the site.) Nice chocolate and dominant coffee flavors. Anyone else had construction issues? It was really bizarre.

    Two for three for me on these - two had a picture perfect burn, and one was a TOTAL canoe! All were delicious tho, and I look forward to having more of them in the future.

    I have a few from trades and cotm. I've only smoked one and it was a great smoke. Really smooth, same flavors you mentioned. No construction issues on that one.

    I love the Brazilia too! The wrapper is yummy... How much can you get a box for, Beta?

    I was actually eyeing just buying a box of the 5 tubos, or the cuban press sampler which has four brazilias in it.

    Looks like a good sampler... It says sold out though? Anyway - I didn't know the Brazilias were so expensive! lol... Even though when you get used to getting cigar deals for $3 per cigar, everything seems expensive...

    Can anyone comment on how it compares to the Ccom Brazilian label?

    Actually upon smoking the ccom Brazilian, I think the CAO packs a bit more flavor, but by no means does it pac 3-4 dollars more flavor. I am thinking about picking up a Brazilian Label box.

    From my hazy memory, I recall pretty much the same thing. I know they both use the arapiraca wrappers. I thought the CAO was "meatier" while Ccom was a bit sweeter.

    I prefer the CAO as it packs a bit more flavor, but they are relatively similar. best thing is that all you need to do is email Jeff or Tim and ask for the hookup. Last time I ordered some, Jeff got them to me for $3 a piece as I remember for the Gol! Somewhere around $3. It's definitely worth the extra dollar per stick.

    Had the Torpedo that GDSIM1 generously traded to me. Delicious! Great draw, perfect burn and just a great stick. Medium-Full but not overpowering. Very pleased with this cigar!

    good call on that right there. the ccom brazilian is my favorite house blend.

    I just had one tonight and it did the exact same thing to me!!! Was fine except for some slight self correcting uneven burn, right till the very end, then kablam, it went allover the place!!!

    Great taste all the way though

    Let me tell you, I had my first Brazilia the other night and I loved it. I am a noob but I find I am leaning more toward the fuller bodied cigars and maduros. I want to try the Brazil house blends too for a comparison. but I guarantee when i get more room in my humidor, or a new one I will send an email asking for a hook up on the Brazilia Gol! box.

     

    Heck I guess I can go one and ask, I can always use tuppadore right? HA! Where is that email again?

    I enjoy these, especially after some time in the humi. I lit one up with going on 3 years on it.
