CAO Criollo

The term "criollo" refers to a seed that is indigenous to a particular growing region. To harness the rich flavor of such native seeds from a bygone era, CAO's master blenders employ a mix of rich and sweet Cuban-seed criollo leaves, cultivated in Latin America. The proprietary Nicaraguan Criollo wrapper is blended with the finest Cuban-seed Nicaraguan tobaccos to deliver complex, full-bodied flavor reminiscent of pre-embargo smokes.
