CAO: PILON ROBUSTO - SINGLE CIGAR
CAO: PILON ROBUSTO - SINGLE CIGAR
A Pilón is a stack of leaves that ferments the tobacco to maximise the flavour and colour. That technique takes centre stage in CAO Pilón. The style of pilón that Garcia and Rodriguez came across is smaller than the ones commonly found in modern day factories; they are smaller in terms of dimensions and are round, while most these days are rectangular. According to General Cigar Co., who own the CAO brand, there are both positives and negatives to this old-world style: the smaller pilón takes longer to ferment tobacco because it generates less heat, but that longer time is believed to result in a greater reduction of ammonia and sugar content, which improves combustion. CAO’s blending team applied this time-honoured method for the production of the Pilón cigar and the result is a wonderful silky smoke that has a rich, deep colour and a superb depth of flavours, with hints of oak, spice, creaminess, woody and sweet notes.

Product tabs
Glad rebellion is stocking this one, one of my first cigars prefer the corona but the robusto will do some nice flavours and quite a distinctive stick.
