CAO Nicaragua Matagalpa Cigars - Rated 91 by Cigar Aficionado
It’s hard to believe, but the CAO Nicaragua Matagalpa marks the first time CAO has built a cigar specifically to showcase the rich tobaccos of Nicaragua—the same country behind so many legendary blends. Maybe they were just waiting for the perfect moment to unleash a masterpiece, because this stick delivers in spades. If you’re a fan of bold flavor and full-bodied character, this one belongs in your humidor ASAP.
While not a Nicaraguan puro, the Matagalpa wears a striking Honduran Jamastran wrapper chosen to let the all-Nicaraguan filler take center stage. Beneath that smooth, chocolate-hued leaf lies a masterful blend from Condega, Jalapa, and Estelí, creating a perfectly packed 5 5/8" x 46 corona that’s as solid as it is inviting.
From the first draw, expect a burst of leather before the profile widens into layers of white pepper, cocoa, and cream. A subtle caramel sweetness lingers in the background as the strength settles into a medium-full groove. Notes of spice, graham cracker, almond, and cedar weave in and out, with a razor-sharp burn guiding you to the nub.
The CAO Nicaragua Matagalpa is proof that quality doesn’t have to break the bank. Pair it with a rich coffee, a smooth rum—or both—and let each puff transport you to Nicaragua’s volcanic soils and lush tobacco fields. This is one journey you’ll want to take again and again.
