The America cigar is another intriguing handmade from the masterminds at CAO. Finished in pin-stripe format, the America employs two beautiful wrappers: a thick and oily Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro and a flawless Connecticut shade leaf. Despite its appearance, the full leaf of each is in fact utilized. Inside, a robust, 100% ligero mixture of Dominican, Nicaraguan, Italian, and American tobacco is blended into an eventful smoking experience. Expect a rich, chewy smoke loaded with creamy, oaky nuances, with a short, but pleasantly sweet finish. Get ready, however, the America cigar is a robust firecracker ready to satisfy even the most savage of beasts! Enjoy this fine cigar after a hearty steak dinner with a bold microbrew.

The CAO America is easily one of my most favorite sticks. I smoke one every year for the 4th of July - and at this point it's practically tradition - but I started smoking it because of the unique barber pole striping on the wrap. It's surprisingly mild to medium, but develops into a more medium - full, and smokes for a long while. Really earthy and not very spicy, makes it great with grilled foods, like your traditional 4th of July fare. Highly recommend them to anyone looking to try a fun-looking stick.
