CAO Colombia represents a groundbreaking addition to CAO's celebrated "World" cigar series, marking the first cigar to prominently feature Colombian tobacco in the premium market. This medium-bodied blend showcases the rare Ica Mazinga tobacco, derived from Cuban seeds first planted in Colombian soil in 1820 and carefully cultivated in the isolated mountainous region of Montes de Maria near the Caribbean coast. The cigar earned an impressive 92-rating from Cigar Aficionado, with reviewers noting its core of earth and wood balanced by sweet, fruity notes of black cherry and nougat with a nutty touch of cashew. The blend features a Honduran Jamastran wrapper, Cameroon binder, and a unique combination of Colombian Ica Mazinga and Brazilian Mata Fina long-fillers, creating a smoking experience that delivers notes of toasted nuts, coffee, vanilla, oak, and dark fruit with a sweet and salty finish. As part of CAO's innovative approach to incorporating exotic tobaccos from around the world, the Colombia line continues the brand's tradition of pushing boundaries while maintaining exceptional quality standards. The cigar offers a smooth, creamy draw with consistent construction and even burn, making it an ideal choice for both morning coffee pairings and evening relaxation sessions.
