Description

The CAO Pilon is named after the traditional Cuban 'pilon' — the large curing stacks used to ferment tobacco leaves after harvest. Using this traditional fermentation method on the whole bunched filler, the Pilon develops a uniquely earthy, complex character that is distinct from conventionally fermented cigars. A medium-bodied robusto with cedar, earth, and leather — the everyday value offering from CAO's Nicaraguan portfolio.
