One of the most underrated and overlooked cigar deep from the jungles of Amazon is back! The 2021 version is their best yet. When blended with 4 diverse leaves, including a dark, robust Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, the result is a full-flavored, medium-bodied smoke that piques the senses like a dart shot from an Amazonian blowgun.

I wasn’t a fan of this cigar when it came out in 2017. I thought it was just so-so but some folks loved them. It seems as though this medium to full bodied 2021 CAO Amazon Basin is a whole different cigar. The company describes it as follows:”CAO Amazon Basin tastes as exotic as the tropical rainforest from which it originated. Grown in a remote region in the Amazon Rainforest, Amazon Basin uses a rare tobacco called Bragança that is organically grown on unspoiled tropical land and only harvested once every three years. This Bragança leaf is masterfully blended with tobaccos from five different countries, giving you a smoking experience unlike any other.”
When I get my hands on one, I’ll let you know my take. For the record, one of my trusted cigar buddies told me it was a very complex, aromatic and enjoyable smoke. He said he couldn’t put his finger on exactly what the flavor notes were with the exception of a medley of dried fruits and citrus. From what I understand, CAO accomplished their mission delivering a totally unique tobacco taste.
Let us know what you think when you smoke it!
