CAO Amazon Basin Extra Añejo adds an extensively aged expression to CAO's distinctive Amazon series, combining tobaccos from several growing regions with the rare Bragança tobacco of Brazil's Amazon region. Produced as a limited release, Extra Añejo builds on the Amazon Basin concept with additional post-roll aging intended to further develop the blend's rich, earthy character.

The cigar features an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper surrounding a Nicaraguan binder and a multinational combination of Dominican, Colombian, and Brazilian long-filler tobaccos. Among the Brazilian components is Bragança, an indigenous tobacco associated closely with the Amazon Basin series and grown in Brazil's Amazon region. Its inclusion gives the blend a distinctive connection to the series' South American identity.

Presented in a classic 6 x 52 Toro, CAO Amazon Basin Extra Añejo offers a generally medium-to-full-bodied profile with tasting notes that may be reminiscent of earth, leather, cedar, black pepper, roasted coffee, cocoa, toasted nuts, baking spice, and natural tobacco sweetness. Earthy and leathery characteristics can establish the foundation of the profile, while pepper and spice contribute additional intensity and subtle sweetness provides contrast as the cigar develops.

The Extra Añejo designation reflects one of the release's most notable characteristics: extended aging after production. According to the release information, these cigars were originally rolled in 2020 and then aged for an additional two years before being released to retailers. This added maturation distinguishes Extra Añejo from other Amazon Basin releases and provides another interpretation of the series' multinational tobacco blend.

As with other releases in the Amazon series, CAO Amazon Basin Extra Añejo was produced in limited quantities, giving enthusiasts an opportunity to explore a small-batch expression built around Bragança tobacco and extended aging. Individual flavor, aroma, strength, construction, burn characteristics, and overall smoking experience may vary by cigar and individual palate.

For adult cigar enthusiasts drawn to Brazilian tobacco, Ecuadorian Sumatra wrappers, multinational blends, extended aging, and limited-production releases, CAO Amazon Basin Extra Añejo offers a compelling addition to the humidor. With its 6 x 52 Toro format, Bragança tobacco, two years of additional aging, and layers of earth, leather, pepper, cedar, coffee, cocoa, toasted nuts, spice, and natural sweetness, Extra Añejo provides a distinctive aged expression within CAO's Amazon series.
