For all of you CAO Brazilia fans - thought you might enjoy this pic that was taken during my recent factory visit. In my hand, is one of our forthcoming CAO Brazilia Ipanemas; of course, I smoked one or two while I was there and all I'll say is that you are in for a treat!

Jon... That's kind of rude... It's like saying "I can get one and you can't (yet)" Perhaps we should do like Harvey Korman in Blazing Saddles...

"Chewing gum in line... did you bring enough for everyone?"

LOL!

I love the Gol! How about a Lucky 13 CAO contest, where the thirteenth post on this thread, including Jon's, gets a free CAO Brazilia Sampler of 13 cigars, including the new Ipanema and the even newer Copa Cabanana?

I'm looking forward to trying that one. Had an Odyssey last Saturday whilst sampling tasty beverages and watching the playoffs, in a brewery in Laughlin, NV. Great cigar.

Jon. I count 28 rollers in the photo, and each has a stack in front of them of anywhere between 25 to 75 cigars. Using the median number, that's 1400 cigars, and of course, that's probably only the last 2 hours worth of work for them. Seeing as you've probably got another 25 to 50 rollers, I figure the morning production is probably around 5000+.

Hows about a few promos/exemplars for the boys on the board. While I can't speak for the others, I'm very happy to taste test 5 - 10 over the course of a week and provide very very very positive reviews?????? Okay, okay, is there is any other type of grease than can be used to bribe you????

Glad everyone enjoyed the pic - fyi, look for the first Ipanemas to arrive by March. The size of the Ipanemas are 6 7/8" x 50 (look for the bright "Ipanema-Red" boxes)...

Regarding the 'ink/artwork' - the entire sleeve is more or less a story of my life; among the pieces are a cigar band with my name in it, a box of cigars with my personal Nivelacuso code, my son's initials, my wife's name in a heart (got it when we got engaged), among others...all told, I have probably 30-35 hours worth of work/time invested into my arm.

Enjoy!

So is the only difference the size and shape? same blend? Why the red box as opposed to the green on all other Braz?

Robby - Yes and Yes. The 'red' box follows suit in our last shape addition to this line, i.e., Piranha (which is a yellow box). The colors also tend to 'stand out' nicely on the retail shelves.
