CAO Pilon

CAO has built its reputation on innovation — from the timeless CAO Black to the muscle-car-inspired Flathead to unique tobaccos like OSA Sol. Now, with CAO Pilon, they resurrect a rare, labor-intensive fermentation method: the circular pilon. Unlike traditional pilons, where tobacco hands are stacked in piles, the circular pilon layers them in a round formation, slowing fermentation and unlocking deeper, richer flavor.

The result? A medium-bodied masterpiece clad in an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and fillers. Each puff delivers layers of spice, cedar, pepper, nuts, and cocoa — a hearty, flavorful cigar that proves once again why CAO remains one of the industry’s boldest innovators.
