Cigar Weekly

I've only seen photos of these Brazilia-Italia blends. The barber pole perfecto is a good looking cigar. And the Trombole' (sp?) is an odd duck, the cap end looks about a 48-50 ring, and the foot is 70. Did anyone get a chance to sample this new blended line from CAO at the '06 RTDA? I guess you can get a "Brazila" filler with the "Italia" wrapper or the "Italia" filler with a "Brazila" wrapper, or the barber pole perfecto, but there was no description about which filler is used for it. My experience with barber pole wrappers is that they taste like whatever wrapper is actually between your lips, but as a limited edition collector smoke, it does look pretty.
