I am impressed...I picked up a couple of these at the suggestion of some fellow LLGs here, and I have to say it was a great, billowy-smoke, tasty cigar. I thought my go-to CAO was the Gol! but will now see if my local shop can get me a box of these Italias.

Not sure if others agree, but I have tried most of the other CAO line and really find that the two named above are just about the best. I am always impressed at the strength of these CAOs, even though they are sold as 'naturals' they rival some other lines maduro in color and punch.

I have not had the Brazilia line yet, but I really enjoyed the Ciao that I had. DEEElicious! I am in agreement.

Havent tried CAO Italia Ciao yet... I have tried most of the CAO except MX2, Black and Maduro (I have a Maduro in the humidor!), and been very satisfied with them. My favourites are Brazilia and eXtreme... CAO Gold is one of my favourite mild smoke...

Have definetey to try some CAO Italias...

I agree with this post 100%. I am a huge fan of the Gol. They are also very reasonably priced by the box compared to other brands. I was able to try one sample of the Italia line. My shop does not carry them as a norm because CAO has so many lines and they don't have the room. This one is just as good as the goal and I will be looking for more.

Smoked a CAO Italia I picked out of the Labor Day Pass and I agree with your assessment of the cigar completely. It was a magnificent smoke!

Luckily, my local shop carries this particular cigar!


:w

haven't had one of these yet, but you can't go wrong with the CAO line.

I like CAO in general. Eventhough I have had a lot of bad (or not up to par is a beter way to say it) CAO Cigars. I keep going back to them. The CAO Italia is really a good cigar. I like the Brazillia also. The MX2 are good ith a little bit of age on them.

Hehe... Boobies.

I just had an Italia Ciao today, and I have to agree with everyone here. It's a damn good smoke. I just picked one up from my local guy but I'm going to go back and get a few more and see if the first impression holds up. Then I might have to get a box.

I've been a huge fan of the CAO line as well. The Brazilia is my favorite offering from them....and is truly a great smoke when compared to any brand. Definitely a tremendous value. If anyone out there has mot tried one yet, do yourself a favor and get some. They will not dissappoint. My wife thinks they tast like chocolate coffee. (I do not agree with her assesment, though...!! )

I just picked up some Italias 2 weeks ago, and had them resting in the humi. I think this thread has renewed my interest in this line, and I shall have to burn one tonight after work. I've heard they are slightly milder than the Brazilias.....adn that would mean that the wife will like them even more!!

Guess I'll be buying more of both....!!

Have not tried the Italia/Ciao variety of CAO yet. Love the Mx2, Gold, and Criollo. Will check with my local shop(s)...
