CAO BX3 Robusto

Before developing the BX3, CAO already had some experience with Brazilian tobacco varieties from the award-winning blends CAO Brazilia and Amazon Basin. It was unspoken that the rich soils of this region, which produce some of the most flavorful coffees in the world, bring a depth of flavor that adds an indescribable element to the tobaccos grown there.

With the BX3, CAO wanted to see how far they could push these flavors and how much exotic intensity could be brought to the table without neglecting the balanced profile for which CAO is known.

They started with a dark and oily Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper, which brings a depth and intensity of flavor into the equation. Then they added a gentle and slightly sweet, yet earthy Brazilian Arapiraca leaf to create a blend of another Brazilian Mata Fina leaf and the finest Nicaraguan, Honduran, and Mexican premium filler tobaccos.

Intense, but not overpowering

The result is something CAO is proud of. A flavor profile that is intense, yet not overpowering. Perfectly strong in a way that highlights the depth of these flavor-rich tobaccos.

CAO says about the cigar: "When we set out to discover CAO BX3, we had one goal: to create a bold Brazilian blend. And damn, we did it."
