CAO Brazilia Gol!


CAO Brazilia Gol! is part of my regular rotation. It is a cigar that never lets you down. Maybe not the most complex cigar out there but it definitely has extremely pleasant flavor. And you just have to love the contrast colorful band makes with the maduro wrapper.

Appearance: Gol! has dark brown maduro wrapper and hard body.

Cold aroma: Very intensive and sweet aroma of manure.

Taste: Gol! is usually a slow starter but it gets better and better while smoking. The first puffs offers some vanilla and cappuccino. After smoking a while aroma turns cedary following a hint of leather. Before half way the cigar gets some peppery notes. When the second half is reached Gol! offers roasted coffee beans and resin. Just before the end the cigar gets notes of bitter dark chocolate. This cigar starts as a sweet smoke but at the end it is quite dry.

Draw: Excellent draw with small resistance.

Burning: Relatively wavy through the cigar.

Ash: Light grey and very firm.

A good hour smoke. If you haven´t tried it yet give it a shot. Then again I belive this is a cigar most of aficionados have smoked.
