Tonight I smoked a CAO Brazilia GO!, my 1st one. It was very good.

I later decided I better pick out a good smoke for my 2nd choice this evening. I thought that it should be of comparible quality, or I would be disapointed. I chose the Padron 5000.

Well, in my opinion, the Padron won the comparision.

Whats your favorite between Padron & CAO?

I really do like both brands VERY much. But in this comparision I prefered the Padron.

Lets take a vote.

Padron 5000; and it only gets mo betta with age.

For me, the Brazilia. No contest. I've never understood the popularity of padron.

I smoke alot of cao line just bought a 5 pack of the 5000 should have it today will let you know. I have alot of good things about padron also bought a box of 2000 🙂 cbid is veeeery dangerous

Kodiak 🙂

If the Padron is a maduro, I'll take it. Both are good. The Padron has a wider range of flavor I find appealing.

I enjoy both of these cigars very much, they're a staple in my humidors. Had you asked me a month ago, I would have said the CAO as I had a bad experience with Padron a year or so ago. Now that you ask this after I tried Padron Maduros again for the first time, I would have to say the Padrons. I believe they have a bevy of flavors that just top the CAO Brazilias.

Jus my 2 cents worth...

I personally think the Brazilia is the better of the two. Padron has a great rep and their construction is consistantly good, but IMHO they have only a one dimensional flavor. To each his own. LG

Yes 🙂

Padron, and especially the 5k maddie!!

Both are XLNT cigars. IF I had to choose between the two,I would have to take the Padron,but not by much. X

Padron 5000 Maddie is the winner "By Far"...I say this and base it upon complexity, draw, and burn!

At least in my honest opinion. 🙂

However, with that said, CAO Amazon is a better comparison to the Padron 5K Maddie! I think the Amazon has a more complex taste.

Gimmie the GOL!!

Dang fine ceeegars

DAMN! now that's a tough choice....i think the padron IS one-dimensional, but i happen to love that dimension 🙂

on the other hand, the Brazilia line is made by the Toraño family, is much more complex that the padron line IMO.

Dude, it's a toss-up; depends what kinda mood yer in, i guess.

as they say on the Rikki Lake show, "it's ALL good, girlfriend" (fingers snap in "Z" formation)

Padron wins for me, but the Gol is an excellent change of pace. I guess I smoke a Padron when I'm in the mood for a rich sweet Nicaraguan smoke and the Gol when I' in the mood for something stronger and a bit more complex.

Like who was sexier? Marilyn Monroe or Gina Lollabrigdida?

I happen to like CAO and Padron, but given the ultimate choice of one or the other, CAO Brazilas for me!

That's like trying to pick between Anna Kornaholeya and, ummmm, thinking.... hummmmm...

I am a huge Padron fan, but the Gol! has a special place in my heart. The only in the Brazilia line I'd put ahead of Padron. Difficult choice, but I vote Gol!

Vive la difference! (oops, a French phrase! sorry!...just kidding)

John

Oh yeah! and my wife!! 🙂 I pick my wife...

Two good ones to choose from. My choice would be the Gol!, by a nose.

Well guys, so far Padron=9....CAO=7.

Turnberry, whats your vote, or are you just happy? Hehe!

groucho likes both equally, so I gave each 1 for him.
