CAO Amazon Basin Cigar
Traditionally planted in long, neat rows, the tobacco seeds that later became the harvest for this cigar are grown in the last remaining half acre of the Rainforest and scattered wherever sunlight can be found. After the harvest, the leaves are rolled by hand, fermented for six months, and then carried to the river, put into canoes, and rowed to the mainland before they are driven to port and shipped to Nicaragua. The result of this tedious process is an exceptional cigar with an open draw and hints of the environment where it originated. The minimalist smoke carries no label, opting instead for another piece of tobacco in its place.
