CAO Pilon Robusto Extra Cigar – Single

The CAO Pilón Robusto Extra employs a traditional pilón fermentation method, where tobacco is stacked in small, round batches to generate controlled heat. This slower process reduces ammonia and sugar content, enhancing combustion and flavor development. The cigar measures 5" x 52, offering a medium-bodied profile with Nicaraguan binder and fillers from Nicaragua and Honduras, wrapped in an Ecuadorian Sumatra leaf for a slightly oily texture.

The blend delivers initial earthy and woody notes, transitioning to coffee, cream, and subtle sweetness. A mild peppery finish accompanies the even burn and firm ash. General Cigar Co., owner of the CAO brand, emphasizes this method’s balance of extended fermentation time and flavor refinement.
