CAO America picked today, Independence Day, to announce their latest cigar, CAO America. The cigar will make its debut at the upcoming RTDA 75th Annual Convention and International Trade Show in Houston in August. The CAO America will be the first 'Pinstripe' style cigar in CAO's portfolio with two American-grown wrapper leaves: one Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro and one Connecticut Shade. Inside there is a Brazilian binder and 100% ligero filler tobaccos from Nicaragua, Italy, U.S.A., and the Dominican Republic. The CAO America will come in 20 count red, white and blue boxes and comes in three shapes: Potomac (5" x 56), the torpedo-shaped Monument (6 1/4" x 54), and Landmark (6" x 60).CAO Gold Maduro Cigars
Is Maduro the new trend in cigars? Yesterday I mentioned a triple Maduro from Camacho cigars and today I got notice of the new CAO Gold Maduro. The CAO Gold Maduro uses the same binder and filler tobaccos from the CAO gold line, aged Nicaraguan binder and fillers which have a mild and spicy flavor. The wrapper is a Brazilian Maduro and the cigars come in wooden boxes of 20 cigars each. The cigar is a former "concept" cigar which is now available to the general public. The CAO Gold Maduro is available in six shapes: Corona (5.5" x 42), Robusto (5" x 50), Corona Gorda (6.5" x 50), Churchill (7" x 48), Torpedo (6.25" 52), and Double Corona (7.5" x 54).CAO Poker Bag
You could spend $2,500 on a poker set but if you are looking for something a bit more casual and perhaps the chance to put your money on the table rather than bring it to the table, cigar maker CAO has you covered. Their CAO Poker Bag has chips, cards, dice and a cedar-lined humidor fitted with a CAO Humidipak. The bag is made of ballistic nylon and sells for $200.
CAO's Crazy New Cigars
I don't know what to make of these cigars from CAO. Cigar Aficionado reports that these cigars are CAO's Brazilia vs. Italia: Artistry of Champions sampler set. The five-cigar set includes two CAO Italia blends, two CAO Brazilias and one, a combo called the Bratalia (the striped one in the center). Two of the cigars feature designs which represent the flags of the countries and two of the cigars are massive trumpets that hardly look like cigars at all. The sampler sells for $100.Get A Free Cigar From CAO
