CAO World Sampler II Fresh Pack of 5 Cigars
CAO has been taking us on a world tour for years, combining world-class blends made from exotic tobaccos from around the globe. The CAO World Sampler II is the long awaited follow up to the original World Sampler! This curated sampler introduces unique tobaccos to the smoker's palate through releases like the Brazilia, Italia, Colombia, and America. From these deep wells they drew forth exotic and rich experiences the likes of which most enthusiasts could not have anticipated. Each expertly hand-crafted cigar in the CAO World Sampler II is made of a unique blend of tobacco that captures the flavor, aroma, and essence from its respective country all in a convenient, resealable fresh pouch.
CAO World Sampler II Fresh Pack of 5 Cigars includes the following:
1 x CAO Colombia Tinto – (5" x 50, ●●●○○ Medium). This unique cigar is made in Nicaragua with an amazing Honduran wrapper, a Cameroon binder and filled solely with Colombian tobacco. The bright and bold colors of the Colombian flag adorn the band of this truly different cigar. The initial pre light flavors of oats, pepper, and sugar carry through the entire smoking experience. Each third of the cigar bumps up that flavor profile slightly but never overpowers and stays right in the middle at a medium. Toward the end a citrus note comes through and perfectly melds with all the other flavors you are experiencing.
1 x CAO Brazilia Gol! – (5" x 56, ●●●●● Full). For the Brazilia, CAO partnered with the Toraño family to create something special; a cigar with a dark and spicy Arapiraca wrapper from Brazil to encircle the filler and binder from Honduras. As if to signify its unusual character, the smooth and finely veined Arapiraca leaf exudes a unique, earthy, and phenolic, almost medicinal, aroma. The cigar is soft without being spongy, but the draw after snipping the large cap is nice and firm. A testament to talented torcedores. The CAO Brazilia Gol! starts with a bang as soon as it is lit, offering up coffee and black pepper. This settles after the first inch, but some additional spiciness is added for the second half, including hints of clove as the flavor develops.
1 x CAO America Potomac – (5" x 56, ●●●●● Full). An extremely unique blend of filler tobacco from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic is paired with tobaccos from Italy as well as America. A spicy Brazilian binder holds it all together. Just as one-of-a-kind as the filler blend is the wrapper. A dual wrapper of Connecticut shade as well as Connecticut broadleaf maduro are utilized to create a barber pole effect. This is one of those cigars that builds in strength as you smoke it. At first light we were surprised at the mild but flavorful smoke. The more we puffed, the more we understood. Each draw builds on the last until it hits a crescendo of medium-full-bodied smoke.
1 x CAO Italia Ciao – (5" x 56, ●●●●● Full, Rated 92). After searching long and hard for new ways to blend a great-tasting cigar, the team from CAO stumbled upon a part of Italy known as Benevento, where cigar tobacco not only grows, it flourishes! Taking what they found in Italy and combining it with a blend of Peruvian and Nicaraguan filler and binder tobaccos, along with a Honduran habano wrapper, CAO created the Italia, a cigar that has turned out to be one of the most successful cigars CAO has ever brought out. There are bold, earthy flavors, along with an array of spicy pepper and some sweet floral notes as well. This cigar is inevitably unique and very satisfying in the flavor department.
1 x CAO Nicaragua Tipitapa – (4 7/8" x 50, ●●●●● Full, Rated 91). This is the first cigar from the famous world-spanning company to specifically highlight tobacco from the country that is the source of so many of your favorite stogies. The blenders at CAO wanted to ensure that the all-Nicaraguan filler is the all-star of the show. An astounding amount of longleaf tobacco from Condega, Jalapa, and Esteli has been stuffed beneath the oily, lightly veined wrapper to create a uniformly solid vitola that feels like velvet and smells of wood. Starting off with a leathery burst, the profile soon expands to include white pepper, cocoa, and cream. There’s a caramel sweetness lurking in the background as the strength soon reaches medium-full, with spice, graham cracker, almond, and cedar all playing a role as the sharp burn line slowly makes its way to the nub.
