Description
CAO Classic: Gold Maduro is the long awaited follow up to the original Gold entry. To begin with, Cano Aret Ozgener started CAO in 1977 as a pipe and personal humidor company. In 1995 he created the Gold cigar line which became an unexpected success throughout the country. Soon thereafter other blends like the Maduro and Cameroon achieved high ratings and accolades as well. As of 2006, CAO is now part of Scandinavian Tobacco Group’s General Cigar brand listing. Since then CAO continues to grow in popularity and blend offerings that attract an ever growing segment of smokers to this day.
It took about ten years for CAO to come up with this darkly wrapped counterpart to their legendary gold line. Cigar Aficionado had kind words in 2007 for this flavorful and medium bodied maduro, as well. “Near black, this cigar has a solid core of sweet tobacco, complemented by nuts, coffee and a hint of leather on the finish.” It goes to show you that after 15 years, this cigar is still a winner!
If you liked the original Gold, you’ll love this maduro!
To sum up, CAO Classic: Gold Maduro is available in four popular sizes of 20 count boxes

This dark coated counterpart to it’s Natural cousin still retains the smooth character of the Original with a bit of a boost into the medium flavor range
