CAO Gold

If you’re used to the typical power of a Nicaraguan cigar, the CAO Gold will surprise you. This is one of the very few mild Nicaraguan cigars on the market. Comprised of a mellow blend of aged Cuban-seed Nicaraguan long leaf fillers and binder and a Colorado shade Connecticut-seed Ecuadorian wrapper, this cigar is as nice to look at as it is to wake up with—consider smoking it over coffee or a full-bodied tea like Polish or English Breakfast. Note also the leathery aroma and a pleasant woody finish at the start. Expect this cigar to build in complexity about half way through the smoke, presenting creamy textures and notes of nutmeg & vanilla with a faintly sweet, anise-like spice lingering in the finish.
