CAO Gold is the epitome of a mellow smoke. These silky stogies feature an immaculate Connecticut-seed wrapper from Ecuador, along with Nicaraguan and Dominican interior leaves. This blend makes for a remarkably balanced cigar with notes of toast, cedar, and a bit of pepper that weaves in and out throughout the duration of the smoke. CAO Gold is a true example of what a Connecticut-wrapped cigar should be—effortless, easygoing, and consistently smooth.
