Gol One of my favorite brand and in CAO my favorite selection Fabulous wrapper but not as fuerte as I remember 5 5 1
Gol One cigar in... Excellent smoke. Smooth medium to full flavor consistent throughout. Strong ash (which is important to me). Only criticism I would have is that the box of 20 arrived with the cap end of the cigars a little dry. Nothing a little time in the humidor might fix. I'm looking forward to the other 19. 5 5 1
Gol What else is there to say except......I wish JR would put all the Brazilia on sale once in a while....and have a Gol 5-pack offering. 5 5 1
Gol I have been purchasing these regularly for over a year. As the title states I light one up everyday as an afternoon treat. I find them consist in roll flavor and content. Overall probably a 90 rating.......not bad for the price. On occasion friends join me and agree with the assessment. Recommend them as a decent beginning cigar as an everyday stick. 4 5 1
Gol I truly like variety in cigars but there are a couple that are my goto (go to) cigars. The CAO Brazilia Gol is just that. Its always consistent from batch to batch and it is GOOD!. My humidors were stuffed but when I saw this deal for $61.00 I was going to figure a way to fit them in. I was down to just a couple of Gols so I needed some anyway.. I don't like to put numbers on rating cigars but this one would be in the 90s for me. There are a couple of other CAO cigars I like but this is at the front of the line. 5 5 1
Gol The best cigar for the money I have ever smoked 5 5 1
Gol Got one of these in my CotM package last month. Wasn't too excited about seeing it in there to be honest but I'd never had one so I figured i might as well take the dog for a walk and smoke it tonight. The cap cracked when i used my Xikar V cutter but i was able to spit-paste it down. It fell off half-way through but wasn't a problem. Toasted and lit and we hit the streets. Right off I was impressed. Great citrus zest and bitter chocolate flavor with some wood and pungent wine notes. Creaminess came in with flavors that reminded me of those green and yellow Tootsie Rolls you only see in Halloween pumpkins after trick-or-treating. There was mild red-pepper spiciness on the retrohale. Stayed pretty consistent with the candied citrus being the star of the show for me followed by bitter chocolate and later a more oaky kind of leather base note. Not a bad thing to say about this at all. Very well constructed medium strength smoke (other than the brittle cap). Great draw nice ash and only needed a couple burn corrections late in the game but i smoked it to the nub and was sad to see it go. I need to pick up a fiver. 4 5 1
Gol So tasty I had trouble slowing down to savor it. 4 5 1
Gol LOVE this smoke! Will not dissapoint. Will be a mainstay in my humidor! 4 5 1
Gol A great cigar flavorful Perfect Construction. Great price as well. 4 5 1
Gol I love Cao cigars especially this one . It has a bold and rich taste with a great finish. Try one 5 5 1
Gol One of the best cigars I have smoked. Gol is a good size for this cigar. Lots of smoke and flavor and long ash. 5 5 1
Gol Supreme dark flavorful tree taste. Nice size as well friends of mine loved it 4 5 1
Gol I Picked one of these on a whim was actually reaching for a flathead from its dark oily wrapper it draws you in. i lit it in the car. what a delightful first draw. hints of spice notes of coffee and cedar. the aroma this beauty put out you would think it cost 3 times as much.the flavor of this cigar just gets better and better. by the time i reached the sweet spot I was already in love. This one is a smooth medium smoke. I am an Avo lover however i have made space in my humidor for some of these what a treat. i think this quality smoke deserves a best buy award. 5 5 1
Gol I have had this so many times its at the top of my list as my favorite. Just ordered it yesterday. I'll be waiting by the mail box like a little kid. 5 5 1
Gol My go to cigar. Great flavor and always a good draw and burn. Box worthy here. Starts with some spice then smooths out to chocolate and cream. Good stuff. 5 5 1
Gol I first smoked this cigar after a long week and wanted to unwind for the weekend. I had this cigar in the humidor for about 3 months and decided to try it out. I clipped the cap and used a match to toast and light the cigar. The aroma and amount of smoke was awesome. The draw was perfect the construction was tight but not too much. The flavor was bold but not overpowering with a earthy/creamy hint. And it was consistent to the end. I also enjoyed it with a single barrel whiskey with ice. 5 5 1
Gol Consistently good cigars and a great value too! 5 5 1
Gol The first time I tried one of these beauties I was hooked. These dark rich wrapper smooth full flavor is unbelievable. Hints of leather and coffee make this a hit with any seasoned smoker. 4 5 1
Gol Fantastic cigar. Nice hit of spicyness up front. Gives way to a subtle smooth creaminess about half way in. The Gol is the perfect size. 5 5 1
Gol Great cigar at a great price 5 5 1
Gol Great smoke all the way to the end. 5 5 1
Gol Received these free after buying a box of flathead apehangers and was quite surprised actually. A really good smoke with smooth rich flavor. Had a very good ash. Only ashed once the whole cigar. Seemed like it would be a good everyday cigar. Only issue I had was the cap came apart partially after cutting it, which could have very well been my fault. Will see with the next four. I can see myself buying another pack to keep in the humidor. If your thinking about these, just buy them wont be disappointed. 4 5 1
Gol It's been years since the last one, what a great return to a fabulous smoke 5 5 1
Gol Good tasty smoke to the end. 4 5 1
Gol Been smoking the Gol for a few years now. My favorite of the CAO's. Smooth draw and a pleasant punch. I will continue to buy them. 5 5 1
Gol Cao are great cigars and one of my favorite bands to smoke 5 5 1
Gol There are occasions when I want to enjoy a shorter smoke and the CAO Brazilia Gol satisfies both of those conditions for me. I have been smoking cigars for maybe three months so I will just tell you that I genuinely enjoy this cigar. 5 5 1
Gol I don’t typically go for Maduro cigars but got this in a sampler with a box purchase of the Pilons and ended up grabbing a box right away. Great smoke after a good meal. 5 5 1
Gol My all round favorite cigars and I also love the flatheads. Great anytime cigar!!!! 5 5 1
Gol Good size. Can smoke the same stick a couple different settings. Very consistent burn. Excellent flavor. Definitely worth the price. I’ve bought 2 boxes of these now 4 5 1
Gol Fantastic budget smoke. Tastes as good as any top-shelf maduro out there. 5 5 1
Gol Great smooth taste. Good golf course smoke or barbecue smoke. I highly recommend the Brazilia . 4 5 1
Gol The flavor on these is top notch and just gets better the longer is sits in the humidor 5 5 1
Gol I wasn't sure about these but the flavor is very consistent and these are a very nice smoke. I this is now one of my new favorites and I have more on the way. 4 5 1
Gol CAO always puts out quality sticks at working man's prices. You can't go wrong with the Brazilia. The blend is perfect. I enjoy these most with the good company of my friends but still very enjoyable solo. 4 5 1
Gol Part of a sampler pack. Not bad. Well constructed and a good slow burn. Spicy earth flavors throughout and lots of smoke. Not sure I'd buy a box but I would surely smoke one if given to me. :-) 4 5 1
Gol A great cigar flavorful Perfect Construction. Great price as well. 4 5 1
Gol This is my main stay. Dollar for dollar the very best value in a mid to full bodied smoke - period! 5 5 1
Gol Love the flavors of this blend beautiful oily wrapper and all the great earthy/cocoa/coffee notes I enjoy with only a mild pepper. This has a spot in my regular rotation. 5 5 1
Gol These fantastic cigars are as good as it gets for the. Maduro lovers out there.They are one of the best cigars i have smoked. 4 5 1
Gol I re very good had a good and smooth I love you get me a good COA 5 5 1
Gol Excellent cigar great flavor beautiful construction. 4 5 1
Gol Received 5 in a sampler pack to try definitely buying a box to have on hand . Flavor was bold with the first cigar but smoked more like a Medium for the remaining cigars. Quality construction smooth draw and great taste to the end. Really good Maduro cigar for the price. 5 5 1
Gol Very strong cigar but an awesome smoke. Burns even and tastes nice. Gol is the right size for its strength if you get green from long strong cigars 5 5 1
Gol This is one of my favorite cigars. Always consistent great flavor profile excellent construction and priced right. 5 5 1
Gol Always good...draws well...chunky a bit..a little spice...burns mostly evenly...keep it well hydrated and use a poker...nice! 4 5 1
Gol Fantastic cigar. One of the few that I like with a thick ring guage as much as a thin one. Spicy dark and rich. 4 5 1
Gol ! 5 5 1
Gol construction deficient. 3 5 1
Gol Been my go to cigar for awhile now tastes good 5 5 1
Gol The CAO Brasilia Gol is one solid,tasty cigar. Not too long at 5 inches, but it's a well-crafted 56 ring for a nice, long smoke. I had to relight one a couple times - owing to circumstances, not the cigar's fault - and it fired back up with no bitterness. It's an all-round good smoke. 5 5 1
Gol A while back JR had a deal on this new cigar buy a box of this new Brazilia cigars and get a free humidor. When I got the delivery the humidor was exquisite with the rapper logo as the design for the humidor. The cigars were even better! These have been my go-to cigar since then. I smoke other cigars and I like the Monties and the Romeo's but for the money this is the best flavored cigar I've ever smoked! Paid less than $5 a stick and I would put these up against any $10 cigar that you could buy. If you like a medium pushing towards full body cigar I'm telling you try these things you'll love them 5 5 1
Gol Rich dark leather and applewood. Amazing flavor, above ave construction. Med to full bodied. Love love. 5 5 1
Gol Great flavor. My favourite CAO smoke. Burned even, great tasted, looks delicious 4 5 1
Gol Great cigars! A must have in your humidor. 5 5 1
Gol Very nice smoke. 5 5 1
Gol Excellent 4 5 1
Gol Been smoking these for years, truly a long time favorite. Consistent -- flavor, construction, quality wrapper leaf, and draw. A bit on the bolder side but perfect with a good whiskey. 5 5 1
Gol Rich, flavorful smoke. Burns evenly throughout. 5 5 1
Gol Flavorful, strong but well balanced for a maduro cigar. Coffee flavor definitely comes through. For the price this cigar can't be beat! 5 5 1
Gol Surprisingly bland, tasteless smoke. light flaky ash, soft body, light in weight, soft cigar. Even burn but a waste of time and $$ 100x better of with a Nub Habano 460 1 5 1
Gol This one isn’t for nubies. It has a nice, full taste as would be expected from a maduro premium. The spicy espresso notes are mouthwatering to the palette. The Brazilia starts out strong and builds it’s intensity as continues. The last inch gets a little harsh but is welcomed by any seasoned maduro fan. As a usual 5x50 to 6x60 smoker, I find the 5x56 Gol to be good size. 5 5 1
Gol Great stick with plenty of flavor. Thanks JR 4 5 1
Gol The first time I smoked this cigar I was very impressed. The size, construction, burn and taste are superior. This cigar will always be found in my humidor. I highly recommend this cigar. 5 5 1
Gol If anyone ask me what is my go to everyday smoke it has to be this cigar. From the build quality and taste it is hands down my top recommendation. You can’t go wrong with this cigar. 5 5 1
Gol Very good taste and aroma - great ash and lots of smoke - a real cigar IMHO! 5 5 1
Gol The draw was terrible, the flavor was kind of chemical tasting, wrapper split. After sucking my brains for about 20 minutes I gave up. I wish I had the cigar the other commenters smoked. Everybody seems to like them. I'll let them sit in the humidor for a month and see what happens. With all the positive reviews I had high hopes, but was sadly disappointed. I'm just being honest. 1 5 1
Gol This is one of my favorite Maduro cigars. Very smooth. I enjoy the draw and I would recommend to anyone who has a love for maduro cigars 5 5 1
Gol Great , flavorful expected 4 5 1
Gol everything was wonderful, thank you 5 5 1
Gol Great flavor….very tasty!! 5 5 1
Gol My go to everyday smoke. Perfect flavor. 5 5 1
Gol good flavor and burn 5 5 1
Gol Nice smoke great pepper taste bottom third! 4 5 1
Gol Still very good cigar for the price 4 5 1
Gol Well, I let them set in my humidor (at 70/70) for almost 2 months and one out of 2 improvements was a better draw. Other than that, it split up one side then another, then another and another. It was going to split again a 5th time near the end and I put it out of it's (and my) misery before it fell apart and started me and the porch on fire. Though this time it tasted pretty good. I did pull a couple sizable stems out of the end about halfway through. On that note I understand the problem. Bad filler. I'm glad all the rest of the reviewers had better luck. 1 5 1
Gol Awesome cigar. 5 5 1
Gol Good burn, good aroma, last longer than other cigars of longer length. Enjoyable. 4 5 1
Gol Great, well constructed cigar with a superb draw 5 5 1
Gol Great flavor, even burn. Draw was a little tight, but not bad! 4 5 1
Gol I really enjoyed the draw and the smooth medium full body. I have onlybhad one so far and the construction left something to be desired. Had to do frequent touch-ups. 5 5 1
Gol Very good cigar. 5 5 1
Gol By far one of my favorites. Full strength makes an enjoyable smoke after dinner. 5 5 1
Gol Always a consistent smoke, one of my favorites with a cold adult beverage! 5 5 1
Gol Vary Good smoke with a great draw and burn 5 5 1
Gol Great cigar after dinner with a glass of bourbon. 5 5 1
Gol I really like these CAO Gol. They are one of the best tasting cigars out there for the money. Well constructed with a great draw and lots of smoke. 5 5 1
Gol Definatley a smoke you could pick out of a crowd. A unique flavor along with good construction and a very reasonable price point, definitely box worthy. 5 5 1
Gol burns even and constantly 4 5 1
Gol smooth taste, had a couple out of 10 that didnt burn to consistent, overall good, would buy again 4 5 1
Gol One of my favorite smokes. Great earthy flavor, goes well with a good IPA. Solid construction and even burn. 5 5 1
Gol I love CAO's Brazilia line. The Gol! is a well constructed cigar, burns evenly, nice amount of spice and a great aroma. 5 5 1
Gol The rich & tasty, medium-full bodied flavor is as described, with an additional note of blueberries. Outwardly, decent construction, but tight draw and tendency of split wrappers points to rolling that's too tight. When not hampered by a splitting wrapper, the white & light gray ash is firm & uniform. The dark brown & oily, Brazilian Maduro wrapper is seamless & well finished, but thin & fragile. 4 5 1
Gol As a daily cigar smoker I never really thought about trying CAO Brazilia until there was a special deal on them (10 pack bid deal) which I took advantage of. Upon arrival and trying one, I was absolutely blown away with the smooth, rich hint of spice taste and a nice smooth burn. This cigar has become one of my favorite daily smokes. I would HIGHLY recommend if you haven’t tried these. CAO so far has not disappointed in their quest for an excellent cigar! 5 5 1
Gol One the 1st CAO brands and I love it! Like the Americano and Columbian line also!! Like the Boneshaker line too. 4 5 1
Gol I got a free 5 pack of these with my order of flatheads and they are amazing! I’ll def be ordering a box. 5 5 1
Gol Great construction, flavorful blend and perfect size .Great cigar and a great value . 5 5 1
Gol Very nice enjoy the flavor the burn was great love the size over all it's a good cigar 5 5 1
Gol Fabulous cigar. Great taste, construction and size. 5 5 1
Gol Nice draw, flavor, and smoke. 5 5 1
Gol These cigars are a full bodied smoke that is not too powerful. Amazing flavor , great build and a good value. These are my daily smokes and I have not had a bad one yet . 5 5 1
Gol I love to keep these on hand (when I can afford them). They have a great flavor, good burn and draw, very well made. The wrapper adds to the flavor and makes this a “must try” cigar at the very least. 5 5 1
Gol very powerfull yet unrefined heavy smoke well builT not for me prefer an oscuro for full bodied smoke 3 5 1
Gol I had two of these, let one rest a couple weeks and the other I rested a few months in my humidor (60-70%) consistent. The first started out as an okay smoke, had plenty and the taste wasn't anything special. It was consistent that it didn't create any excitement for me. It was mostly just a strong smoker. The second, well, it surprised me greatly. It was in my humidor at least 17 weeks before I pulled it to smoke. The taste was NO DIFFERENT to the first one I had. Nothing to write home about. Sorry to all the fans of this burner, it was purchased because of all the HIGH marks it received from so many in here. Even my neighbor loves this stick. Maybe, IF I am gifted one more I'll give it another try. 2 5 1
Gol Glad I got a 5 pack. Hope to get a box soon. 5 5 1
Gol The CAO Brazilia has been a favorite of mine for the past few years. It has a good even burn, is well constructed, and a nice well balanced blend. If you're looking for a medium-full bodied cigar this one will not disappoint. 5 5 1
Gol Absolutely fantastic cigar! Smooth, even burn, great flavors, plenty of smoke. Highly recommend it! 5 5 1
Gol Package arrived on time and no obvious problems with condition nor construction. This is a good thing to factor when the package travels from NC to TX (Summer) and delivered via a hot metal truck to ones front door. 4 5 1
Gol Quick shipping and cigars packed very well with a humidity pack in each bag. This cigar has become my favorite, I can smoke it to a very short length with out it overpower me. 5 5 1
Gol These are really good cigars but you have to baby them. Taste is great but consistency is what to look out for. I would definitely recommend these. 4 5 1
Gol Definitely recommended this stick. Nice flavors. Good smoke and ash. Didn't feel it was overpowering at all. Some minor burn issues. Needed several touchups but would definitely have again 4 5 1
Gol Good 5 5 1
Gol My favorites are the Pre Embargo Cuban Counterfeit. Saw this at a local dealer and tried it. Was surprised. Tastes of dark chocolate, toasted almond, bit of pepper. Great burn, long ash, stayed lit. Don't smoke it too fast. If it gets too hot, tastes can get harsh. I slowed down and it wasn't so harsh. Ended up buying a box from here. Great cigar. Pairs well with a good sipping tequila or a good craft beer(Pauliner Hefewissen). 5 5 1
Gol I have purchased the cigar for several years and have enjoyed them immensely. The last 2 boxes I bought have been the same. I had to keep relighting them to finish them, which resulted in a very bitter smoke. Every cigar in the box tunneled which resulted in a very unsatisfying experience. I will not buy them again. I’m disappointed as this use to be a go to cigar for me. I’ll stick with anything Olvia. 2 5 1
Gol I just received my first and more to come order if this cigar. Great burn. Fine white ash. Lovely deep flavors if cocoa, rich and earthy. This is a great cigar 5 5 1
Gol This is a surprise! Deep earthy chocolate flavor. Fine white ash. Excellent burn. Magnificent 5 5 1

CAO Brazilia

Gol 5 × 56 CBG

One of the most powerful premium cigars out there, the CAO Brazilia Gol is certainly not for the faint of heart! This fat 5 x 56 Robusto is a rich and very tasty cigar that features an oily coal black Brazilian wrapper surrounding aged Nicaraguan binder and long filler tobaccos. The result is an uber full bodied smoke with sweet and spicy flavors of anise, espresso, black pepper, and caramel. This bold, scrumptious stick, sold in affordable boxes of 20, belongs in every well-seasoned smokers’ humidor.
