How can they allow sticks to go out like this? I tried everything to fix it. I tossed it in the trash and grabbed another, this next one was tight also but at least the ambers lit up a little and produced enough smoke to be visible on the exhale, I really liked the flavor alot, its too bad I couldnt enjoy it. The final third drew a lil better, like I said I loved the flavor and hope one of the 3 I have left has a perfect draw. I cant wait to get a good draw with this cigar (GOLD) and pair it with a Dunkin Donuts toasted almond coffee, which IMO is a great complement to most cigars.

The flavor was wonderful, but I had construction/burn issues. From the start, the cigar seemed to give more smoke off of the foot than the head. I agreed completely with Walt's description of the cigar feeling very "airy". There was some sort of construction issue, because a trench developed in the side of the ash for the first 2-3 inches in. Then a little after halfway through, the wrapper started coming apart. All in all, disappointing, because the flavor was great. I probably wouldn't buy another. :( I had my first CAO Brazilia last night (Amazon vitola), and didn’t have a great experience. The flavor was wonderful, but I had construction/burn issues.

Nice mellow full bodied tast, excellent construction, draw, and burn on every stick I've smoked. Always maintained a full inch ash on the first third every cigar.

I like a full bodied cigar but this seemed harsh and too "peppery" , especially considering the lack of complex flavor. Maybe it was because it was such a large size as I found that something seemed to be lost with other cigars Ive tried in this size. I had no desire to try another Brazilia though. I saw this box press and I liked the construction so I gave it a chance. Much more complex -good flavor-creamy-not harsh. Draw could have been a little more dense but overall Brazilia redeemed itself with the box press. Also no significant burn issues with the box press. Tried a 6 X 60 Brazilia quit awhile ago.
