Anyone tried the CAO Brazilia Minis?

One2gofst

I like the Brazilia cigars and noticed they have them in mini, cigarillo sized cigars. I thought those might be nice for times when I only have 10 minutes like when friends go outside to smoke a cigarette or in the winter. Any experience with these? A search turned up nothing. Thanks!

The other reviews I am seeing on line are saying 10-15 minutes. Seems about right, as they are only 3.5" by 20 ring. How can they last so long?

Thanks fellas. I was going by the reviews I was seeing online, not retailers. I would expect 40 minutes out of something the size of the Italia Piccolos, but then again they are significantly larger. I have no desire to smoke them so fast they taste bad. The way I look at it, I will smoke them at a speed that gives the best flavor. If I don't get through the whole thing, I only paid $.50-$.75 for the stick.

yea me and a friend bought some of these and i think they are awesome for what you get. takes about 10-15 minutes and they are done. i think some people may be thinking of the capriocas size.

I bought a little box. Nice flavor! Like Kuzi said, slow down and their quite good! 40 minutes for sure.

The ones I have that I mentioned are the 4x38. I haven't seen them in the tiny ones you picked up.

I've tried the CAO Anniversary Maduro in the little cigarette size and it was a pretty decent 15 minute-ish smoke. If I could find the Brazillia in that size locally I'd give it a whirl for sure...

Right, which was what I was trying to say when you guys kept telling me to slow down and they will burn for 40

You have offended me deeply with your internets sarcasm. Clearly, the only way to make up for this is to send me all your OpusXs. And throw in a couple Brazillia minis while you're at it.

I'l be happy to send you all my Opus X, but I am keeping my Brazilia Minis. Oh, BTW, I don't have any Opus X

I am still new at cigars. With that said these were the first exposure I had to full bodied cigars. I did not like the single stick at all. Now that my palate has matured I might like a single but I did not then. I was exposed to an interesting trick with this right after that first single. If you really want to get some GREAT flavors out of those try three. I know I know, people are going to say why not smoke a larger one. Well that's your choice. This trick was shared with me through the leader of my cigar club who got it from the CAO rep. Light all three sticks at the same time. Wait till you have a good light on all three then take your first draw. The flavor is amazing. I can't describe what about it I liked but I would do it again in a heartbeat. I thought I would share that and of course YMMV.
