   So this is the second entry of the CAO Arcana series with the first being Mortal Coil. This one is called Firewalker which was released in January ’22 as a limited edition totaling 5000 boxes.. According to CAO’s owners at Scandinavian Tobacco Group [STG] the Nicaragua’s Mastepe region’s filler is assembled into a pilón and then buried underground in this particularly volcanic soil for two months. Then the tobacco goes to the factory for an additional nine months of double fermentation before final assembly. STG says ,“This process allows the tobacco to ferment naturally, locking in an inherently sweet and aromatic quality.” Yikes! Well, you have to hand it to the folks at CAO for creativity here!
   While the jury still seems to be out on Firewalkers overall body and strength, it seems to be a medium to full bodied cigars that picks up strength as you smoke it. The chief flavor note seems to be earthy which is no surprise. From start to finish there’s also plenty of peppery spices, hardwoods and cocoa powder as well. I think one of the primary pleasures of this unique cigar is the pronounced natural tobacco sweetness and very pleasing aroma. This is definitely worth trying a 5 pack.
