CAO Brazilia Gol features a lustrous, perfectly aged Brazilian Arapiraca wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler in a 5 x 56 format. It is rated medium to full in strength with a long, luxurious finish.
The Brazilian leaf is blended with Nicaraguan tobacco for an earthy, floral and nutty character. It is the cigar that put Brazilian wrappers on the map, and it pays tribute to a country celebrated for creating beautiful things. From the samba to the bossa nova, Brazil has a history of producing beautiful things, and chief among them is CAO Brazilia. At medium to full strength, it suits smokers who enjoy a bolder cigar. It is the cigar that put Brazilian wrappers on the map.
The 5 x 56 is a short, wide format with substantial proportions. CAO Brazilia Gol suits smokers who enjoy a full flavoured cigar with a long finish.
CAO goes where the tobacco takes it, sourcing leaf from the jungles of the Amazon, the mountains of Colombia, the valleys of the Dominican Republic and the volcanoes of Nicaragua. Removing boundaries, borders and limits from the process leaves a tobacco experience unlike any other.
Box of 20 cigars

Large, dark, heavy, but not harsh or overly complex.
I found it similar to Macanudo Black.
Quite easy to smoke, and not too overwhelming.

Construction was 2/10… entire wrapper fell apart… burn was good and the flavor of this stick was very good. Will let my 2nd stick sit in the humidor for a few months then try again

Bought one locally and liked the size and taste. Goes great with a nice scotch. I ordered a box and shipping was fast. These will be in my humidor for awhile as I only smoke between the months of May and October when it’s nice on my balcony.

A great cigar with a very dark and oily wrapper. Burns evenly with no touch ups. The flavour is full(not strong) with hints of coffee and dark chocolate. It has a draw that you will want to hold in your mouth for a while. There will always be Brasilia in my humidor and the bigger the ring the better. I would have given it 5 stars if it would have the original band not the Cigarchief generic band. Small thing I know but……..

This is my favourite cigar. Full bodied & bright flavoured. No tangy burn on the tongue. Bold coffee & earthy with no bitterness.

Continuing from my Nov 29th review, I’ve smoked a few of these since mid-May and they were great. I had a little problem with the draw with one of them for about an half inch at the start but was OK afterwards. Will certainly buy more.

A good daily smoke, smooth with not of cocoa, coffee, nutty, and leather.

Feels heavy in the hand, very firm build.
Tight, oily wrapper smells of dark berries and leather.
Dry puffs taste of chewing tobacco and Applewood .
1st third. Not overly dramatic flavour of charcoal to start. Absolutely fabulous draw, seeing as it is rolled so densely and with such a thick ring gauge. The smoke develops a silky smooth leathery taste 15 puffs in.
2nd third. Some sweetness presenting itself now. Tastes of a burnt vanilla. apart from that, not much change to the flavour. Leading up to…
Final third. The flavour really shines at this point. Coffee, dark cocoa, burnt cinnamon and vanilla. All the good stuff we want in a cigar.
What a great build and pleasant, flavorful smoke. I would rate it a little under five stars, as with the size of the cigar I would expect a little more intensity to the flavour, although I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone.

Very good cigar! Great flavor, great burn, never disappoints. Perfect cigar for relaxing beach side.

Fantastic when the Brazila label is on the cigar, but every time I received it with generic brown label it is absolutely garbage! The wrapper comes apart and is a horrible smoking experience. Please fix this issue.

Just finished the last of my first box, which I bought and wasn’t disappointed. The draw, flavour, and burn were spot on. A well-constructed cigar with quality tobacco with ashes that extended over an inch. Mine had a generic cigar band; unlike previous comments, I didn’t have any issues with the wrapper on any cigars I smoked. I still have a couple of boxes left and will definitely re-order.
