CAO America is a three-country blend rolled in a red, white and blue barber-pole wrapper — Connecticut Broadleaf and Brazilian leaf spiraled together. It is a piece of showmanship that happens to smoke well.
The two wrappers give it a shifting profile: sweet and dark in one draw, spicier and brighter in the next. Cocoa, pepper and cedar throughout, medium to full in body.
