Strength: Medium
Renowned for its long list of 90+ rated blends and fearless innovation, CAO once again pushes boundaries with CAO Pilon. This release revives the rare and labor-intensive circular pilon fermentation method, where tobacco hands are stacked in a circular formation to ferment more slowly—enhancing depth and complexity of flavor.
Wrapped in a striking Ecuador Habano leaf, CAO Pilon features Nicaraguan binder and long-fillers and delivers a medium-bodied profile loaded with notes of spice, cedar, pepper, nuts, and cocoa. Rich, balanced, and boldly expressive, CAO Pilon continues CAO’s tradition of craftsmanship-driven excellence.
