CAO Bones is a cigar built on nostalgia, crafted from the memories and spirit of classic domino and dice games that once clacked and rolled across tabletops. Inspired by those timeless gatherings, brand ambassador Rick Rodriguez set out to create a blend that captures the camaraderie, competition, and character of those moments. The result is a cigar that feels both familiar and exciting—an homage to old-school tradition with a refined, modern edge.
Rolled with expert precision at the STG Estelí Factory in Nicaragua, CAO Bones showcases a dark and oily Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper that immediately sets the tone. Beneath it lies a sturdy Connecticut Shade binder embracing a trio of fully aged long-filler tobaccos from Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, and Honduras. Every component is selected to deliver optimal balance, structure, and performance, producing an even burn and a consistently satisfying draw from start to finish.
Once lit, CAO Bones comes alive with medium-to-full-bodied complexity that keeps your palate engaged. Rich notes of cocoa lead the way, supported by toasted wood, nutty undertones, and a subtle sweetness reminiscent of fresh cream. It’s a cigar crafted for those who appreciate depth without harshness—and for anyone who enjoys pairing great conversation with a timeless game and a smoke worth savoring.
