CAO Bones Blind Hughie Toro Cigar – Box of 20

The CAO Bones Blind Hughie Toro expands CAO’s portfolio with Nicaraguan craftsmanship from STG Estelí factory. Developed by blender Rick Rodriguez, this 6x54 Toro features a Honduran wrapper and binder layered over fillers from Honduras (Jamastran, La Entrada), Nicaragua (Esteli), and Dominican Republic (Piloto Cubano). The dark Connecticut broadleaf maduro wrapper contributes to its visual distinction.

Flavor progression begins with dominant earth and oak tones, transitioning to secondary notes of roasted coffee and black pepper. Mid-smoke reveals subtler characteristics of cocoa powder and dried leather, balanced by faint vanilla sweetness from the Dominican filler. Combustion remains consistent with medium smoke output, requiring minimal correction.

• Wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro
• Binder: Connecticut Shade
• Filler: Honduran Jamastran, Honduran La Entrada, Nicaraguan Esteli, Dominican Piloto Cubano

The CAO Bones Blind Hughie Toro’s namesake derives from domino/dice culture prevalent in cigar lounges. Box-pressed construction enhances combustion stability, while the 54-ring gauge accommodates extended 90-minute sessions. Pairing compatibility extends to aged rums or espresso-based beverages.
