As for me, I'm a big fan of the CAO Brazilia line, like everyone else, and I particularly like their bigger vitolas, such as the Amazon and the Ipanama.

I've had one of the Criollo (the Mancha, I believe), which I thought did taste a lot like a Cuban (as CAO intended it to), but mine was tad bit harsh, otherwise with great construction and draw.

The Gold line just wasn't for me. It was billed as a mild line, but I thought it tasted more medium-bodied. It was alright, but kind of bland and plain compared to CAO's other selections.

I had a L'Anniversaire Cameroon one time, but I can't quite remember what it was like. I think it was good, but it still doesn't stand out in my mind...guess I'll have to smoke more of 'em.

I just had a L'Anniversaire Maduro yesterday, which I loved and I will definitely try to get more of in the future.

Next on my list of CAO's to try is the eXtreme, the Black, the Odyssey, and the new Mx2!

I normally like a medium size cigar, robustos and toros are probably my favorite vitolas. However, for a smaller cigar, nothing beats the CAO Brazilia Piranha (4.5"x46). Those things are so tasty!

Love the Brazillas and Extremes. For some reason the Criollo just doesn't suit my taste.
