CAO Outpost Sampler Vol. 2 includes:

1 x CAO FASA Noche Toro (6" x 50, ●●●●○ Medium-Full). This beauty is packed with long-leaf filler tobaccos: bold Dominican Piloto Cubano and a trio of lush leaves from Nicaragua’s famed Jalapa, Estelí, and Condega regions. Once lit, it opens with a peppery snap and quickly deepens in complexity—without ever overwhelming the palate. Think espresso, toasted walnuts, and black currant swirling in thick clouds of smoke. Midway through, layers of semi-sweet chocolate and bright citrus zest emerge, and the finish ties it all together with hints of salted caramel and worn leather.

1 x CAO Italia Gondola (6 ¼" x 54, ●●●○○ Medium). Rated 91 by Cigar Aficionado. 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, a Honduran binder, along with a Honduran habano wrapper, CAO created the Italia. Flavorful, rich, and potent, the smoking experience begins with a chocolatey sweetness that intensifies as the cigar progresses. 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.

1 x CAO Fuma Em Corda Pack Exclusive (6” x 52, ●●●●● Full). This cigar is part of the Amazon Trilogy. This cigar is enrobed in a Honduran Colorado wrapper and contains a Cameroon binder with filler from Honduras, Nicaragua and Brazil. The Brazilian tobacco is the highlight of the blend, a mix of both Bragança and Arapiraca leaves. It utilizes the fermentation technique applied to the Brazilian Arapiraca tobacco. The aroma coming off the wrapper is earthy and fruity, almost like sweet, overripe fruit notes. That sweet, overripe fruit note continues into the cold draw, almost like a banana and a peach orchard note. Along with that is some cinnamon, coriander and a light floral note.

1 x CAO Brazilia Lambada (6" x 50, ●●●●○ Medium-Full). For this blend, CAO collaborated with the Toraño family to create a masterpiece, a cigar featuring a dark, spicy Brazilian Arapiraca wrapper expertly wrapped around Nicaraguan filler and binder tobacco. The smooth, finely veined Arapiraca leaf delivers an earthy, slightly phenolic aroma that hints at the bold experience to come. Once lit, the cigar bursts to life with flavors of coffee and black pepper, gradually mellowing into notes of clove, cocoa, and spice in the second half.

1 x CAO Zocalo Robusto (5" x 52, ●●●●○ Medium-Full). A thick, sweet, and flawlessly smooth Mexican San Andres Morron wrapper has been melded onto a Nicaraguan binder itself, barely containing the hearty Nicaraguan filler at the heart of the cigar. The result is a smoke of unparalleled character. The San Andres leaf, which coats each stick, shines with oils and is pungent with an aroma like rich, fertile soil. There's an immediate complexity to the flavor, once alight, with sugarcane and malt intertwining with black coffee and spice. In due time, the sweetness evolves into stone fruit and caramel cream, while the savory aspects transition to robust espresso, a meaty char, black pepper, and orange peel.
