#26: CAO Brazilia and Rocky Patel Edge

This is my favorite combo. Perfect pair.

Love the CAO country brands and this bundle didn't disappoint. I can speak volumes about this brand. Nice steady smoke from start to finish. You get an easy draw and full of flavor. The notes hit spot on. In this combo you get a great deal. A must buy.

good

Both excellent smokes

CAO Brazilia Robusto Extra (5 x 56) had a rich full taste, mild slow steady burn, with a nice feel and ring size. Everything I want from an afternoon smoke. The Rocky Patel Edge Maduro Toro (6 x 52) has even better, fuller flavor from the maduro wrapper and ligero filler (we are informed) and the stick looked rich and exotic, felt good twixt the digits, and burned smooth and long. If you like it a little bolder these two at this price are not to be missed.

Good sample mix! Cao brazilia one of my favorites... Rock patel edge is actually very pleasant smoke, would buy a box of both.

Good combo for those who have never tried them.

great smokes, nice sampler

Very nice cigars.

Great cigars!

A decent combo pack for the price.

Great combo.

CAO Brazilian always a great medium cigar holds together and smooth. Edge is a satisfying smoke but tended to burn unevenly . Required relighting to burn together.

They were great!

I find these cigars both to be moderate medium blends. I prefer the CAO over the Patel. It seems to burn better and is more flavorful. The Patel is undoubtedly the cheaper cigar, so when packaged together you can get 10 gars for a reasonable price.

2 of my all time favorites. Good price for 10 of them.

Great smokes. Always great draw, ash, and taste

Mmm Mmm good

They were an enjoyable smoke. I didn’t realize the Rocky Patel’s were a 50, I prefer a 60, although they were still enjoyable.

I will these buy again. And would recommend these to others.

I've always enjoyed the CAO Gol. The Edge is a little bit stronger in flavor, but still a very enjoyable smoke

You can't go wrong with this duo. The Brasil model is one of my all time favorites. It is dark and rich. Don't let the size fool you, this stick will last a good while. The Patel is a nice medium medium to my palate. It has a complex taste that is good from the initial lighting. The quality of both is what you would expext from these labels which are amongst my go to's.

Both brands came surprisingly humidified and in perfect condition!

I love best of best

Nice mix of the two. As it gets colder here in the Northeast the Brazillia is a perfect quicker smoke and the Rocky Patel is the perfect counterpart.

Good stuff

Excellent combo in great value

One of my favorites

Two good cigar brands, nice smokes all around.

I would say that these are better than 4 stars but they are a little peppery for my tastes. If that is your flavor profile you'll love these as they burn very evenly and are consistently rolled. The CAO Brazillia is a little short for me as the nub arrives far too soon. They are good to the nub though.

The cigars were truly full in flavor, delivering a robust and satisfying taste that left me craving for more. Each puff was a delightful journey through a complex blend of notes that evolved beautifully throughout the smoke. Whether you prefer a bold, spicy profile or something milder and sweeter, these cigars have something for every palate.

Excellent Combo! A very good value!

These are two that I am not particularly fond of but was willing to give them both another try. I tried RP Edge and Brazilia a few years back when I began testing out my preferences. My position stands that I probably will never purchase either again. The RP Edge is just plain tasting with a non-enjoyable level of smoke. The stick did not hold an even burn and if you were smoking slowly while in a conversation, you would have to re-light. Uneven burn and non-tight ash - no flavor that stands out. The CAO Brazilia is comparable to the RP Edge as it has no distinctive nor enjoyable flavor. Although a consistent, tightish burn, the enjoyability is nowhere to be found here. This match-up is basically good as in equal to what I will not buy again and mostly will turn down either if offered at a party. I say do not pick this pairing. If one was a decent brand to smoke it wouldn't have been so bad, but 2 brands of YUCK - no thanks. No flavors of pepper, leather, chocolate, etc. Just tastes like nothing except light colored smoke.

Very good stuff!

Always good with the Rocky!??

Great collection of smokes

awesome service

Very smooth, great for after work with a shot of bourbon.

Great smoke

I am enjoying these very well so far

Excellent combination. While only a sample size of two, they are excellent quality for an excellent price.

Great smoking cigars with great flavor for the maduro smoker.

Great deal on great cigars!

Both cigars burned evenly with a smooth draw. Flavor was full strength more to my liking.

Excellent smoke!

Quality smokes at a good price.

Great

Good tasting, smooth smoking cigars

Great cigars. Good quality. Enjoyable smokes

The CAO Brazilia is one of the best cigars I have ever had. Consistent with burn and flavor almost every time I have had one and I have had them for a lot of years. The Edge is a very good cigar too.
