CAO Brazilia Samba Cigar Review
One of the things I try to do when doing a cigar review is tell you what I think without being biased by something I have heard or read. This can be difficult because if you go into a cigar knowing that others think very highly of it you will be thinking that that cigar will be very good. Hopefully I do not fall into that trap and I think that this will be an example of that. Onto the review.
Dark cigar with very little oil, which is a point of concern. It does look perfect though. I am drinking Wild Turkey, a Cherry Coke and some water to cleanse my palate. Just to let you know my frame of mind going into this cigar I know that this is supposed to be a very good cigar and full bodied.

Odd draw. It’s almost like the outer ring of this cigar has a tight draw but there is a good draw in the center of the cigar. Never had that happen before. Overall the cigar has a decent draw.
I am getting an earthy flavor with some spice. I may also be getting some wood notes as well. This is a medium-full bodied cigar.
About an inch in the draw opens up a little bit. The spice is trying to take over but the earthiness is still very strong.
I have to say that these flavors are not all that strong. If I am smoking a great cigar the flavors will just flood my mouth. This isn’t the case here. The flavors here are very subtle. Also, halfway through this cigar becomes more full bodied, however, it isn’t solidly full bodied yet.
Three quarters of the way through and the draw unfortunately worsens. That means the flavors weaken even more and, overall, the cigar just gets worse. I just didn’t like this one all that much.
