CAO Cx2 Toro

The tobacco grown in the central African country of Cameroon is famed for rich flavor, but it's very delicate and susceptible to damage so the yield of usable leaf per plant is low. Cameroon wrapper is thus hard to find and expensive. One Cameroon wrapper leaf is in itself a treat. This month you get to double your pleasure with the CAO Cx2— Cameroon times two—the first ever cigar to incorporate two Cameroon wrapper leaves in one cigar blend. Inside the two top-grade Cameroon leaves is a complex blend of Nicaraguan and Columbian long-fillers that have been aged extensively. This unique mixture creates a rich, incredibly smooth smoke characterized by a spicy sweetness with an underlying earthiness. Note how well constructed the stogie is. Panelists found it easy to light and note it produced clouds of billowy smoke. Look for woody and earthy notes towards the middle that grow in complexity as the smoke goes on and finishes with spicy flavors and a touch of sweetness. The CAO Cx2 is a full-bodied smoke that achieves that delicate balance of being rich without being overpowering. A full tawny port or VSOP Cognac will match this stogie's prowess.
