This is a follow-up to my first pic/post. This was the first Ipanema I smoked down at the factory...

That's definatley an all day sucker.

Nice 'gar. What's the size of that baby??

Sorry... Just found size in the other post. I looks bigger than 6-7/8 x 50. How was it??

Lowman - taking my "PR" hat off for a second, this cigar was every bit as good as it appears...

It was very spicy, full-bodied, and produced a ton of smoke(!). Burned perfectly all the way to the 'nub' and enjoyed every minute of it.

Jon,
I'm sure that everyone will agree with me that the best way to get the word out is to send us all a sample so we can experience it for ourselves!!! hahaha

I ready to "start spreading the news..." 😉

Jon,

I am turning "Green" with envy....Some of that green I am willing to throw your way for a few of those babies!!!

Ha. ha.

Regards,

B

Okay already. I'll take your word that these babies are every bit as good as they look (jealousy does not become me). But I have to agree with Low, send a few around and we'll do a taste test for you (of course, I've never tried a CAO I didn't like, so I'm certain these will get rave reviews from the board). 🙂

WOW, you guys are good...but as much as I would love to send out Ipanema samples, you're just going to have to wait for these beauties until they hit the shelves (March). Sorry. 😞

Smoked one of these bad boys last night.

WOW... Like Jon said above, this is a really spicy, full bodied smoke. Smoked and burnt perfect. Mouthfuls of smoke. Nice and smooooth, not bitter or harsh at end. Almost burnt my fingers...
The ash held to about the same length as this pic !!
The 7 x 50 size is great!! Smoked it for about 1-1/4 hours.

I love the Brazilia line and I can't wait to try one of these Babys....

Hmmmm, my calendar shows its past March, and still no samples:-(

You didn't get yours, RDC ??? I guess Jon doesn't like you... hahaha

Low

J/K... I wish there were samople given... These are REALLY good!!!

A couple of the guys on the ship with me that enjoy good cigars hadn't tried any of the CAO lines. I gave one a CAO Anniversary, but told both of them that the best CAO out there, IMHO, has to be the Brazilia. Unfortunately, I don't have any with me to let them try for themselves. They'll just have to find out on their own. That new stick does indeed look scrumptious!!!

That is, of course, unless Jon has changed his mind about the samples (hint hint)

Samples were denied because these puppies weren't out... now they're out... hmmm... 1+1=??

wow..that cigar does look yummy!! time to track down these babies. Soon as the wife turns her head I am outta here. MUHAhahahahahahahha

I have smoked a box of the Ipanema and I was disappointed. They were way to tight and the bite just wasn't there. I really enjoy the Brazilia line and Churchill is my favorite size cigar, but these fell short of my expectations. I will stick with the Sambas. Still my favorite in this line.
