General Cigar Co. has announced the return of the CAO Amazon Basin for 2024, marking its first shipment since January 2022. This unique 6 x 52 toro features an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, a Nicaraguan binder, and a blend of fillers from Brazil, Colombia, and the Dominican Republic.
The standout Brazilian Bragança tobacco, harvested only every three years, undergoes a traditional six-month aging process before making its journey out of the rainforest.
With a slight production decrease from 2022, the rarity of this blend is reflected in its price of $14.29 per cigar. Ed Lahmann, senior brand manager for CAO, highlights the blend’s scarcity and unique smoking experience, advising enthusiasts to act quickly.
