The CAO Black is an exclusive small-batch limited release from CAO, that's often referred to as the crown jewel of Honduran made premium cigars. When you consider the first-class cedar-wrapped presentation, exquisite construction, and top-tier aged tobaccos of these cigars, it's easy to see what makes these sticks so special.
It's stunning construction begins with a blend of aged tobaccos from Nicaragua, Honduras and Mexico, followed by a Habano-seed Nicaraguan binder, and topped off with a very fine Connecticut-Ecuador wrapper. The result is a medium-bodied smoke which offers an abundance of complex flavors. This cigar opens up with nuttiness, earthiness, with notes of leather and cinnamon, subtle hint of vanilla, and creamy spice flavors. The perfect burn continues, it's woodsy flavor mellowing nicely, and finishes incredibly clean with a lingering hint of pepper on the palate.
If you are looking for a medium-bodied stick that will capture your attention with a smooth and exquisite flavor profile, the 6" x 50 CAO Black Bengal definitely warrants your attention. Cigar Buyer Magazine agrees, awarding this superlative stick an unprecedented perfect score of 10/10.
