5x Amazon Basin (Daggers: 4"x38)
Experience one of the most coveted and extraordinary cigars in the premium cigar world with the CAO Amazon Basin 5 Pack. This legendary limited-edition release showcases CAO's pioneering spirit and commitment to sourcing the world's most exotic tobaccos, featuring the rare Brazilian Bragança leaf that's grown in a remote region in the Amazon Rainforest and only harvested once every three years. The unique cultivation process involves seedlings for Bragança are planted in the soil a full yard apart from each other, resulting in half the yield of other tobacco crops, before being packed tightly into tubes called carottes and undergoing a six-month fermentation. Most remarkably, these precious tobacco bundles are loaded into a canoe and paddled out of the jungle on the Amazon River to reach the STG Estelí factory in Nicaragua.
Each cigar in this 5-pack delivers an unforgettable smoking experience with intense fruit and molasses complemented by earthiness, leather, creaminess, sweetness, cocoa, fruit, red pepper, raisins, espresso, melon, honeysuckle, oak, cinnamon, and toasty notes. The distinctive twisted tobacco rope band can be smoked right through, adding to the cigar's authentic Amazonian character. Amazingly, the Amazon Basin is a fairly mild cigar despite its complex flavor profile, making it accessible to a wide range of enthusiasts. With incredible supply constraints on the particular tobacco varietal that makes it possible, this sampler represents a rare opportunity to experience what many consider CAO's most innovative and sought-after creation – a true collector's item that embodies the adventure and mystique of the Amazon rainforest.
