CAO Brazilia Gol!

C.A.O International, Inc. is the producer of one of the country's top lines of premium cigars, cigar accessories, Meerschaum pipes, and pipe tobaccos. CAO’s Meerschaum pipes are smoked by presidents, senators, actors and other dignitaries. Their cigars will even be featured in the third season of HBO’s “The Sopranos.” So they got that going for them…which is nice. CAO was founded in 1973 by Cano A. Ozgener; using his initials to name the company. They put five years of planning into the production of this cigar before it was released. It was well worth the wait though. This Robusto is a full-bodied dandy of a smoke, made from the finest Brazilian wrapper leaves and aged Nicaraguan long leaf filler and binder tobaccos. Look for a powerful smoke, offering a strong, meaty flavor, with hints of cedar, cinnamon, and pepper. Try pairing it with a smoky single malt scotch.
