CAO Classic: Maduro is formally known as the CAO L’Anniversaire Maduro.
Its wrapper is fermented under extreme heat for three months until it becomes rich and dark with an even burn and razor-thin carbon ring. It’s then wrapped around an Ecuadoran binder and a blend of Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos to produce an outstanding smoke with a lavish finish.
The result is a spectacular cigar standing the test of time for over 25 years. This is a medium plus to full bodied smoke is meant for seasoned smokers and passionados. Newcomers need not apply.

CAO Classic: Gold Maduro is the long awaited follow up to the original Gold entry.
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!

This amazing cigar was crafted by Nick Perdomo way back in in 1999. Since then it has remained a hugely popular edition of the CAO lineup. Becoming one of Cigar Aficionado’s Top 50 Cigars and giving it a ’92’ rating, the magazine noted, “Nicely pressed, with rich color. The cigar has a lovely draw and burn. It’s nutty and toasty, with coffee, cocoa, and dry wood flavors. The finish is long.”

Brought to us from JC Newman, the Cuesta Rey line has been around forever. In fact, King Alfonso XIII of Spain who ruled from the late 1800’s to the early 1900’s declared it his favorite! The Dominican filler picked from the center of the plants has been aged five years. The wrapper is grown on Oliva’s Ecuadorian farm. The cigars are then aged in Spanish Cedar lined cabinets. The result is a stick with a medium to full bodied taste as rich as it’s heritage. This is one of my favorite “Old School” brands. Step back in time and try some of these great sticks!
