For a long time the CAO cigar business thought of a premium cigar that uses Brazilian tobacco, however at the time of the cigar boom it was tough for CAO to find a good Brazilian leaf.
At that time Brazilian tobacco was not at the peak of its game. Nevertheless, CAO found a gorgeous dark wrapper leaf from the popular Bahia region and the rest as you know is CAO history.
After the launch of the CAO Brazilia, this premium cigar brought interest back to Brazilian tobacco and basically was the rebirth of Brazilian cigars in the US cigar market, as other cigar makers flocked to South America in an effort to remake CAO's success.
The rich Brazilian wrapper is giving the CAO Brazilia a full bodied and full flavored taste that carries a long and spicy finish. The CAO Brazilia is beyond doubt an unforgettable cigar.
