CAO Pilon Robusto Extra Cigar – Box of 20

The CAO Pilón Robusto Extra utilizes a traditional pilón fermentation method, where smaller, round pilón structures generate less heat than modern rectangular versions. This slower fermentation reduces ammonia and sugar content in the tobacco, improving combustion. The blend combines an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper with a Nicaraguan binder and fillers from Nicaragua and Honduras. The cigar measures 5 x 52, offering a medium-bodied profile with balanced complexity.

Flavor progression begins with earthy and woody notes, transitioning to coffee, cream, and subtle sweetness. A mild peppery finish accompanies the even burn and firm ash. The Nicaraguan binder and multi-regional filler tobaccos contribute to the cigar’s structured smoke output, while the Sumatra wrapper provides a smooth draw.

• Wrapper: Ecuadorian Sumatra
• Binder: Nicaraguan
• Filler: Nicaraguan and Honduran tobaccos

The CAO Pilón Robusto Extra emphasizes craftsmanship through its pilón-inspired fermentation, which historically required extended aging periods. This method aligns with techniques used by early tobacco processors, focusing on ammonia reduction rather than accelerated production. The cigar’s combustion consistency and flavor depth reflect its blended tobacco origins, with no artificial flavor enhancers used during cultivation or rolling.
