CAO Pilón (Pilon)
CAO Pilón revives a slower, costlier tradition. The line is fermented using the circular pilon, a method dating to nineteenth-century Cuba in which tobacco hands are layered in a careful circle so the leaf ferments more gently and develops deeper flavor. Dressed in an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and filler, it is a medium-bodied smoke rich with spice, cedar, pepper, nuts, and cocoa. We are glad to offer this classically minded blend.
