I had my first last night. I had very nice construction. The cut stayed toghether well and the prelight draw was smooth. Lots of smoke. I didn't have to correct the burn to much. And man was it powerfull at first. It kind of mellowed at the half way point. It was an excellent smoke IMHO.

No doubt. These spicy muthas are so dang tasty... I may have one tonight now that you bring it up! For a quicker smoke - try the piranha - yummy!!

Got about 20 of these on a package with a traveldor about 16 months ago. Been enjoying 1 every month since then. Had one 2 nights ago and it was pure flavor, perfect draw and rich billowing smoke volumes. This line ages real well. Absolutely my favorite CAO!! (along with the Sambas I'm also stashing)

So what are the differences in the lines. Just smoking time? Or is there a different flavour profile?

I love those little dudes. My favorite smoke

I prefer the Samba but the Gol is tasty as well. I wasn't impressed with the Ipanema. I found the draw very tight and not as much as a flavorful cigar as the Samba and Gol. IMHO

Really liked the Gol! until I tried the Impanema... Wow! Even better!
