CAO, established by Cano Aret Ozgener in 1977 following his departure from Dupont, has emerged as a prominent name. The early 1990s witnessed CAO's significant expansion within the non-Cuban cigar market, culminating in the introduction of their inaugural cigar line in 1995. A hallmark of CAO Cigars is their willingness to procure tobacco from global sources, a practice undertaken to craft truly exceptional non-Cuban cigars.
Indulge in the CAO - OSA Sol Lot 54 cigar, a medium-strength smoke with a lengthy 152mm size and a substantial 54 ring gauge. This cigar boasts an exquisite blend of Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos, featuring a Connecticut Broadleaf binder and a dark, oily wrapper from Olancho San Augustin in Honduras.
The cigar's tightly rolled construction ensures a satisfying draw, while its aroma is a tantalizing blend of fresh leaves, wood, coffee, and a hint of chocolate.
This Gentle Giant has been in the humidor for a couple months, I kept passing it by because I did not want to smoke it until I had over an hour to enjoy it fully. Regardless of price this cigar deserves a spot on the top shelf of any collection, it is a rare combination of silky mild yet full flavors that are rolled to the highest standards. I cannot imagine anybody who enjoys good cigars not liking this smoke. It just works. Slow burn, slightly sweet, super mild yet full flavored. I dont know what else to say. This cigar is a winner & I am glad it is big, I do not want to finish it any time soon. REALLY GOOD!
