Description

CAO Amazonia is one of the cigar world's most geographically adventurous blends — combining Brazilian Bragança wrapper with Peruvian binder and a Nicaraguan/Dominican/Peruvian filler. The Brazilian Bragança wrapper is rarely seen in premium cigars and delivers unique cocoa and dark fruit notes distinct from any Central American leaf. A medium-bodied explorer's cigar that rewards the smoker willing to go off the beaten path.
