CAO continues the brand's legacy of pushing boundaries with the introduction of the Arcana Series, where CAO intends to showcase old-world tobacco processing methods, bringing a modern flair to time-honored traditions.
The first cigar in the CAO Arcana Series is the CAO Mortal Coil, named after the unique fermentation practices of andullo tobacco. Andullo is the oldest known fermentation method of the Dominican Republic; instead of stacking leaves in pilon piles, the tobacco is wrapped in palm bark and tightly compressed with ropes (there's your "mortal coil"). When unwound, the tobacco is dense and leathery, taking on concentrated, sweet and earthy characteristics that are quite unique in comparison to the tobaccos commonly found in today's cigars.
The CAO Mortal Coil cigar combines this Dominican andullo with Honduran (Jamastran Valley), Nicaraguan (Estelí), and Dominican Piloto Cubano tobaccos within the filler recipe. These leaves are secured by a Connecticut Shade leaf and finalized with a hearty Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. The resulting smoking profile is full in flavor and medium in intensity, lending well to flavors of sweet earth, chicory coffee, exotic spice, and an assortment of roasted nuts.
