"Great smoke with coffee"
I have been a long time CAO fan dating back to before the brand being purchased by General Cigar. I came across a box of these CAO Brazilia Lambada on sell and decided to jump at a chance to renew my love of the CAO Brazilia. I normally smoke the little Piranha, which are a great morning coffee cigar since they are 4 1/2 x 46 in size, but I have really enjoyed the whole box of these Brazilia Lambada in 6 x 50.
As someone who works from home, I have been smoking these as a mid-morning cigar over coffee or with strong Yorkshire tea. This is a great cigar, but I believe that the little Piranha is the better powerhouse option.

"ok cigar. Inconsistent construction."
The cigar flavor was fine, but I experienced several sticks in which the wrapper began to unravel. sometimes from the head, sometimes from the foot.

"I give it an 80"
Nice smoke for the money. Good burn time and plenty of flavor. All around decent cigar.

"Unsmokable"
I bought a box of these brazilia lambadas ive gone thru over half the box and the ones I can get to burn tunnel or canoe really bad, the other ones I can t draw thru even cutting the whole cap past the shoulder.

"Best of the Line"
CAO has a hit with this line of cigars and this is the right size..perfectly balanced and the taste is something that keeps you interested throughout the cigar.

"One of my favorites!"
This stick is a 1 hour smoke. The burn was even and long down to the numb. The draw was good, not too tight or loose. Great looking cigar and solidly built. The taste is full for a medium cigar. I think it's a great intro to Maduros if you are new. Chocolate, coffee and clove. Reminds me of Mexican coffee. Must try!

"Impossible Draw"
I have smoked most of the Cao line of cigars & have been pleased with all of them. The Brazilia Lambada is the exception. All of these had very difficult draw which is a real drag. Stick with the Brazilia Ipanema 7 X 50 which has great draw and fantastic flavor.

"Intensely satisfying!"
I've smoked cigars for years but never tried the CAO line until I got a five-pack of Brazilia Lambada. It's a fine ending to a tough day after supper and coffee. It's aroma is like that rich cup of coffee; it's smoke is silky smooth; the draw and burn are near perfect. The flavor is full and leaves the taste of coffee and cocoa as its finish. If you're like me, you'll "bathe" in the aromas of the cigar. This fine creation is well-received by seasoned smokers! They'll be in one of my many humidors for years to come!

"Another great CAO!"
This is another great CAO! This cigar was great all around and I will have many more.

It was without a doubt the best tasting cigar I've had to date. It left me looking forward to the next one...
