| CAO World Sampler II Fresh Pack of 5 Cigars includes the following: |
|
|
|
|
|
| CAO Colombia Tinto - (5" x 50, Medium). This unique cigar is made in Nicaragua |
| with an amazing Honduran wrapper, a Cameroon binder and filled solely with Colombian |
| tobacco. The bright and bold colors of the Colombian flag adorn the band of this truly |
| different cigar. The initial pre light flavors of oats, pepper, and sugar carry through the |
| entire smoking experience. Each third of the cigar bumps up that flavor profile slightly |
| but never overpowers and stays right in the middle at a medium. Toward the end a citrus |
| note comes through and perfectly melds with all the other flavors you are experiencing. |

|
| CAO Italia Ciao - (5" x 56, Full, Rated 92). After searching long and hard for |
| new ways to blend a great-tasting cigar, the team from CAO stumbled upon a part of Italy |
| known as Benevento, where cigar tobacco not only grows, it flourishes! Taking what they |
| found in Italy and combining it with a blend of Peruvian and Nicaraguan filler and binder |
| tobaccos, along with a Honduran habano wrapper, CAO created the Italia, a cigar that has |
| turned out to be one of the most successful cigars CAO has ever brought out. There are bold, |
| earthy flavors, along with an array of spicy pepper and some sweet floral notes as well. |
| This cigar is inevitably unique and very satisfying in the flavor department. |
|
|
|
|
|
| CAO Nicaragua Tipitapa - (4 7/8" x 50, Full, Rated 91). This is the first cigar |
| from the famous world-spanning company to specifically highlight tobacco from the country |
| that is the source of so many of your favorite stogies. The blenders at CAO wanted to |
| ensure that the all-Nicaraguan filler is the all-star of the show. An astounding amount of |
| longleaf tobacco from Condega, Jalapa, and Esteli has been stuffed beneath the oily, |
| lightly veined wrapper to create a uniformly solid vitola that feels like velvet and smells |
| of wood. Starting off with a leathery burst, the profile soon expands to include white |
| pepper, cocoa, and cream. There's a caramel sweetness lurking in the background as the |
| strength soon reaches medium-full, with spice, graham cracker, almond, and cedar all |
| playing a role as the sharp burn line slowly makes its way to the nub. |
