Brazilla and MX2 tiend be the only ones within the brand I seek out, well...I will now add the somewhat mysterious Black VR. Your review indicates you think it is a quite decent cigar with a bit of complexity within the mildy (I'd say even medium) realm and I would certainly agree. I used the word "mysterious" because it is out there, but C.A.O. doesn't seem to claim it. This could mean the production runs are over and the stock that was made is being shipped with no commitment to further production, or, perhaps, it is being made for certain marketing channels only? The Black VR seems to be mostly in-stock at one mail-order house at present . If I ventured a guess it has become that retailers baby, primarily . It is, however, for sale by others too as that dealer also operates as a wholesaler. Whatever the story is I think it's an attempt to make a premium stick that appeals to a wide range of smokers. The flavor is hard to fault as it all those things you've mentioned plus it has a bit more strength and some spice too. Recommended. C.A.O.

I just had my first CAO (Brazilia) a couple weeks back and really like it. I got another 5 pack on the way. I am looking forward to trying others in their line. Keep up the good work.

I think in this case it's that the CAO Black is a cigar they only make for a very few retailers. (Maybe only one - Cigars International.) I'm pretty sure it hasn't been discontinued.
