CAO, established by Cano Aret Ozgener in 1977 following his departure from Dupont, has emerged as a prominent name. The early 1990s witnessed CAO's significant expansion within the non-Cuban cigar market, culminating in the introduction of their inaugural cigar line in 1995. A hallmark of CAO Cigars is their willingness to procure tobacco from global sources, a practice undertaken to craft truly exceptional non-Cuban cigars.
Indulge in the exceptional flavors of the CAO - Pilon Toro, a handmade cigar crafted using a natural fermentation process known as "Pilón". This traditional method, originating in 19th century Cuba, involves expertly layering tobacco leaves in a circular stack to enhance the aroma and color, resulting in a uniquely flavorful and visually striking cigar.
Featuring a Habano Ecuador maduro wrapper and binder and filler sourced from Nicaragua, the CAO - Pilon Toro delivers rich and inviting aromas of cocoa, cinnamon, cedar, and subtle hints of sweetness, combined with a satisfying spiciness. This medium-strength cigar offers an excellent draw and an even burn, allowing for an enjoyable smoking experience that lasts approximately 70 minutes.
