Description

The CAO Amazon Basin Robusto is one of the most unique and adventurous cigars in the market, featuring a rare Bragança wrapper leaf harvested from the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. This limited edition showcases the exotic, earthy character of Brazilian tobacco with notes of dark fruit, cocoa, and earthy leather that are unlike anything else in the CAO portfolio. It earned 93 points for its singular flavor profile and outstanding construction using tobacco grown in one of the world's most remote and fertile growing regions.
