Following the 95-rated Flathead, CAO's Speed Shop keeps the garage theme and the flat-topped box press, and pushes into the larger ring gauges the line is known for — up to a seven by seventy.
Big cigars can smoke thin. This one does not: it stays rich and cool across the whole length, with cocoa, char and a sweetness at the edges. The box press makes the wider vitolas far more comfortable in the hand than the numbers suggest.
