Description

CAO Nicaragua is a three-region Nicaraguan blend — Estelí, Jalapa, and Ometepe each contributing distinct character under an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. Estelí brings the strength and pepper, Jalapa adds sweetness and cinnamon, and Ometepe contributes volcanic earthiness. The result is one of CAO's most nuanced Nicaraguan offerings — a medium-full toro with real complexity and outstanding value for the price.
