CAO Pilon Corona Cigar – Box of 20

The CAO Pilón Corona utilizes a traditional pilón fermentation method, where tobacco leaves are stacked to generate heat through pressure and moisture. This process reduces ammonia and sugar content, improving combustion. Unlike modern rectangular pilóns, the smaller, round pilóns used here extend fermentation time for deeper flavor development.

Construction & Blend

This 5 ½ x 44 corona features:

• Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper
• Nicaraguan and Honduran filler/binder tobaccos

The blend achieves balance through extended fermentation and leaf selection.

Flavor Profile

• Initial notes: Cedar, earth, leather
• Mid-smoke transitions: Black pepper, roasted coffee
• Subtle undertones: Vanilla sweetness, oak

The cigar maintains an even burn with steady airflow, producing dense smoke output. Ash retention demonstrates tight roll construction.

Positioned as a medium-bodied option, the CAO Pilón Corona bridges historical fermentation techniques with modern blending. Its 44 ring gauge suits smokers preferring traditional corona dimensions.
