CAO Amazon Basin Toro

General Cigars

Description

This is without a doubt, one of the best cigars that I have had the pleasure of trying in recent memory and quite possibly one of the rarest too. Members of the Gauntleys Cigar Club had the pleasure of trying this at one of our recent events and EVERYONE agreed, it was a phenomenal cigar.

So what makes it unique? Well, it’s one of the tobaccos in the blend, the Bragança, which is only grown in the Amazon Rainforests and harvested once every three years. As you can imagine, this leads to the intermittent production of the cigar, which is only made in extremely small batches. Each cigar comes beautifully adorned in a Brazilian Habano wrapper which is draped over a Nicaraguan binder with filler tobaccos from Colombia, Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic and the aforementioned Bragança.

This is medium to full-bodied in style with a distinct earthiness to it – goes well with dark rum, whisky, coffee or even chocolate. My score out of 10 is 11!
