CAO Zocalo

It's the dawning of a new day for a globe-spanning cigar brand with the launch of the CAO Zócalo. It might be incredible indeed that a cigar company known for utilizing expertly aged longleaf from around the world, perhaps most famously from Brazil but also countries like Italy and Colombia, has never used tobaccos from Mexico in any of their sticks. That oversight, whether intentional or not, has now been remedied in the most spectacular way possible. A thick, sweet, and flawlessly smooth Mexican San Andres Morron wrapper has been melded onto an Nicaraguan binder itself barely containing the hearty Nicaraguan filler at the heart of each vitola. The result is a smoke of unparalleled character. (Shop other CAO Cigars) CAO cigars are well known for their delightful packaging and bold use of color, and their Zócalo is no different with red and cream-toned boxes and bands depicting the Metropolitan Cathedral located in Mexico City's main square or Zócalo. Imagine that. Looking beyond this honest homage to the home country of the cigar's star player, the San Andres leaf which coats each stick shines with oils and is pungent with an aroma like rich, fertile soil. There's an immediate complexity to the flavor once alight, with sugarcane and malt intertwining with black coffee and spice. In due time, the sweetness evolves into stone fruit and caramel cream, while the savory aspects transition to robust espresso, a meaty char, black pepper, and orange peel. One of the reasons enthusiasts love CAO cigars is because they allow you to travel the world from the comfort of your favorite chair. While the CAO Zócalo might not range as far afield as some of their other frontmarks, the full-bodied flavor is more than enough to transport you to a place of complete relaxation and enjoyment.
