Description

The CAO Flathead is one of the most beloved lines in General Cigar's portfolio — a motorcycle-themed collection with vitolas named after engine sizes (V554, V660, etc.). The Flathead V554 is the most popular size: a wide-ring Honduran Corojo robusto with red pepper, cedar, and earth from the Jamastran Valley. Bold and satisfying at a mid-price point, with General Cigar's typically impeccable construction. A go-to recommendation for smokers who want serious Honduran spice.
