I really enjoy the CAO line.

My 2 favorites are the Anni Maduro's & the Brazilia's, in that order. The CAO Gold is my 3rd choice. Then the Extremes(cameroon)! I like the CAO black too but have only had a couple corona's.

Which CAO line is your favorite? I think they are all good, but if you had to choose one which would it be?

I agree, Mag ... Anni Maduros and Brazilias ...

On second thought, maybe I should've said Brazilas then the Anni Maddies ...

No, on third thought, I was right the first time ... oh, no wait a second ... on fourth thought, I was righ the second time ...

Uh, oh ... fifth thought ... CAO Odyssey ... now what order ? ... and sixth thought ... the Millenium ...

I should never have let you trick me into trying to answer ... it's an endless riddle to which there IS no answer, isn't it ???

What SteveS said...

It is soooo hard to choose! I have never smoked a CAO that I did not like!

I have not tried all of their line but do like the L' Ann Belicoso Maduro, Corona Extreme and Gold Robusto.
Was gifted a 65th Annie recently but have not tried it yet.

I think CAO is a great line of cigars. I enjoy most of the line starting with an eXtreme churchill, Brazilia Samba and a cammie belicoso. I have tried the new label maduro and they are ok. I pefer the Padron 5k when it comes to maddies. I am looking forward to trying the new MX2. CAO RULES!

Echoing other comments made, Brazilia Samba and Extreme Churchill. Criollos kinda grow on you for something different.

I love the CAO Blacks!

I also love the Brazilias, the L'Anniversaire Maduros, Cameroons, and Crillos. I have several eXtremes sitting in my humidor to try.

Basically, I like all of the CAOs that I've tried.

Just like everyone else, I'm patiently waiting for the new M2s to be released.

The L'Anniversaire Belicoso Cameroon is my favorite change of pace cigar --for late mornings or after lunch - I find them absolutely delicious.

The new Box Pressed Tubos Maduros are very good and the Petite Maduros are my favorite little cigars.

All of the above,
Especially the Maddie Belicoso, and the extreme beli. But, I have never had a CAO, that was not great.

I really like the Criollos. I have smoked all four sizes, and the Conquistador and Pato really stand out to me. I always have trouble keeping them lit (humi is at 65%), but they are worth the trouble.

They are all great cigars in their own right but I'm Kinda' partial to the Extremes,a close second would go to the Cammies although the CAO Gold definitely holds a place in my rotation.

I like several of them but my favorite would have to be the Brazilia Impanema... Everyone I have ever had is just a nice enjoyable, uncomplicated easy smoke.

People before me have said this on the forum, but I'll back them up.

The CAO Brazilia, and particularly the Amazon size, is hands down my favorite.

I love my cigars big and full-bodied.

Mine is the 65th Anniversary Cigar...yummy!

To quote from CAO's website:

"The CAO 65th Anniversary cigar is a limited edition item made in honor of founder Cano A. Ozgener's 65th Birthday. The cigar reflects Cano's personality in that it is rich, complex with hints of sweetness and is meant to leave a smile on one's face. The wrapper, binder and filler are all from various farms and specific regions of Nicaragua to compose this puro. Part of the proceeds from the sales of this cigar will be donated to cancer research."

I've had...

L'ann Cameroon & Extreme
Black
Gold
Brazilia

It is very difficult to pick among the Black, Gold and Cameroon. Extreme wasn't consistent enough...maybe a bad box? The Brazilia was too spicy for me.
