Quick Smoke: CAO Brazilia Corcovado

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,” “hold,” or “sell.”

CAO’s Brazilia has long been a go-to blend for me, notwithstanding one unfortunate experience. So I was pleased to learn a new size had been released at last week’s IPCPR Trade Show. Corcovado (4.25 x 60) is a stout cigar with a fair burn line and an effortless draw. Like its predecessors, this dark, Brazilian-wrapped smoke packs a full-bodied punch with plenty of peppery spice and notes of bitter dark chocolate and roasted nut. Definitely worth a try.

Verdict = Buy.
