CAO Brazilia thoughts

Just smoked one. It started out sweet and by mid way it gained a little spice. It burned nice but it was hard to get a good pull off of it. (would rolling the cigar around in my hand help loosen this up or should I leave it alone?)

Anyway, on about the last 1/3 of the cigar I lost my train of thought and I guess my brain told me I was smoking a cigarette like I used to when I had a drink. So I took a nice long draw and without thinking about what I was doing I inhaled. By the time the smoke got halfway down my throat my body realized that I had made a very very big mistake. I tried to cough as hard as I could but my throat was paralyzed. My god did that hurt. I was able to breathe properly again after about 5 minutes of gasping and coughing.

I still feel a little rough.

But that said, I will try another one in a month or two and see what I think about it.

What Rh are you keeping your sticks at? These need to be no higher than 65 because the wrapper is a little thicker. If it was plugged, rolling it around might have helped, but I've smoked a lot of these and never run into a plugged one. Not saying it can't happen, but I bet it's a moisture issue.

Mine is a little higher than 65, but I got it yesterday and it only spent 1 night in my humidor.

Then it's definitely a moisture issue...let one sit for a few weeks and adjust and you'll see a difference.
