CAO Pilon Corona Cigar – Single

The CAO Pilon Corona employs a historic pilón fermentation method where tobacco leaves are stacked to generate heat through natural pressure and moisture. This extended process reduces ammonia and sugar content, improving combustion. The 5½" x 44 corona uses an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper with a smooth surface texture and faint sheen.

Binder and filler tobaccos from Nicaragua and Honduras create balanced combustion in the CAO Pilon Corona. Initial flavors reveal cedar and earth tones, transitioning to leather and spice midway. The final third introduces coffee bean characteristics with subtle sweet undertones.

Construction quality is evidenced by the cigar’s straight burn line and compact ash formation. The medium-bodied profile positions the CAO Pilon Corona as an accessible option for exploring traditional fermentation techniques adapted for contemporary cigar craftsmanship.
