That's how I've always pronounced it, too. (In my head, that is. I can actually read silently.) It's probably because of my familiarity with foam beer can insulators.

I found this - Audio guide called:

Do they name the other parts of the cigar differently too?urbino:CAO is actually pronounced "cow." Little known fact.
Do you have to "Curdle the Hoof" instead of Roast the foot?
Are they made with a rich Honduran "Hide" instead of wrapper?
I'm just wondering here... I'm sure there are allot more terms I could have thought of... but then I'm lazy -
Okay sirius and madurofan, to clear this up you're both sorta wrong. Everything that has to do with cigars is in Spanish. So to make life easier if you want to hear how something is supposed to sound find someone that can read and speak Spanish and they'll tell you exactly what it's supposed to sound like. Tatuaje, the last part is not hey or he (which confuses people into thinking it's "he" like: He walks the dog.) it's actually "heh" with the first h sounding like the h in the word hero, the e sounding like the e in the word flex and the last h is silent. Just for extra points the word tatuaje actually means tattoo.
Also criollo is pronounced kree-oh-yo not yo-yo!! Only the double ll makes the y sound.

Look... It's obvious with a name like Saez that you're Scottish, and scottish folk can't pronounce nothing right...PJSaez:...it's actually "heh" with the first h sounding like the h in the word hero, the e sounding like the e in the word flex and the last h is silent. ...![Stick out tongue [:P]](/cs/emoticons/emotion-4.gif)
Whoops, typo on my part... I was trying to type kree-oy-yo and flipped the first pair...PJSaez:Also criollo is pronounced kree-oh-yo not yo-yo!! Only the double ll makes the y sound.

Danish? I dunno, that sounds like a classic Polack blunder to me. (it's ok, I can say that...I'm part Polishrusirius:

Davidoff : sh-muck
Awesome
-
seriously....
i dont understand all the Davidoff hatred as of late.
Henke Kelner (the blender for Davidoff) blends in a very unique style. his style is in each of their original brands. (Davidoff, AVO, Zino). they tend to blend a medium bodied cigar with very subtle complexities. in a Davidoff you will almost never find a "smack you in the face" flavor like many of the big brands try to give you. its a very different way of blending than many are used to.
they way i try and describe it is like this:
most brands aim for a flavor profile. Davidoff aims for it to taste like tobacco. other flavors will seep in when you arent looking
I can understand how you wouldnt like the blending style but for those who do like them and truly appreciate them they are worth every penny. I happen to be a huge fan of the AVO line. it is one of the more expensive cigars that i keep in rotation.
now that i have stated that i like Davidoff, does that make me a snob?
i dont think so.
am i looking down on you because you "dont understand such a subtle yet complex cigar"?
no.
maybe you do understand it. maybe you dont like it. I dont know. I am not one of your taste buds. I dont know why others like davidoff. maybe some people buy them just because they are crazy expensive. I buy them because i like them
its just sad to see a group of people that love cigars so much spit so much hate in the direction of one of the most detail oriented cigar companies in the business. Henke Kelner is brilliant and misunderstood.
please, sit down with an AVO domaine (the no.9 is a great size) and give the company a shot. -
I've had the Davidoff Dominicano Puro fresh from the B&M and it burned like hell outside but the finish was almost peaty and covered my mouth, I knew I was smoking a different kind of cigar.kuzi16:seriously....

I enjoyed it immensely and would like to get more if they weren't $20 each... But it WAS good! -
I've heard more than one person call Cow cigars Cad cigars. That O is a bit squashed, I guess.
also, you could add the tilde to the (En-yays) in Añejo, Toraño, and Año to avoid any confusion.Reading all these makes me think of Doc Stogie's hammy Spanish over-pronunciation on the Stogie Fresh Podcast.
Limitada: lee-me-tah-dah
Oliva: oh-lee-vah
Puros: poo-rows
Segundos: say-goon-doughs
Leon Jimenes: Lay-own He-men-ace (I've never had these, but the potential for butchery is high)
is the Pepin Series JJ a Hota Hota? I always read it as 'Jay Jay' because Series is in English.
