Don’t be fooled by CAO Gold’s gorgeous, blonde Ecuadoran Connecticut seed wrapper. This cigar packs plenty of flavor, earning it many devoted disciples, including some of the industry’s top publications, which have awarded CAO Gold multiple 90 ratings and a status as one of the best cigars in the world, celebrated for its sweet herbal earthiness and notes of pepper, cocoa bean, leather and roasted nuts.

CAO Gold Robusto cigars are handmade in Nicaragua using aged Cuban-seed Nicaraguan long-filler tobacco, finished with a silky smooth, golden brown, Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. This is a mellow to medium bodied smoke, layered with rich, smooth, flavors of white pepper, cedar, leather, and natural sweetness. The Gold line is one of the earliest CAO brands to earn a well-deserved 91- point rating, with many more top ratings that followed.
