CAO Pilon Cigars pay tribute to a classic 19th-century fermentation technique known as the circular pilón—a traditional method that naturally ferments tobacco by stacking the leaves in a round configuration for slower, more even aging. CAO revived this old-world process to craft a richer, deeper, and more balanced flavor profile than modern fermentation typically delivers. The result is a medium-bodied cigar built around Nicaraguan tobaccos and finished with a stunning Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, offering layers of sweetness, earthiness, and subtle spice. CAO Pilon has become a favorite among enthusiasts looking for craftsmanship rooted in heritage and flavor shaped by patience.
CAO Pilón Añejo Gigante takes the traditional pilón fermentation
approach and stretches its rich, slow-developed flavor into a
long, generous format. The result is a cigar that opens with warm
earth and oak before easing into layers of cocoa, dried fruit,
and a mellow spice that lingers without overwhelming. The Gigante
size gives the blend plenty of room to evolve, delivering a
smooth, unhurried smoke that highlights the depth created by
extended aging.
CAO Pilón Churchill showcases the full depth of traditional pilón
fermentation in a long, elegant format that gives the blend
plenty of room to unfold. The cigar starts with warm earth and a
touch of natural sweetness, followed by notes of cedar, cocoa,
and an easygoing spice that never overshadows the balance of the
profile. Its extended length makes for an unhurried smoke that
steadily builds in character while staying smooth from one end to
the other.
CAO Pilón Corona brings the richness of pilón-fermented tobaccos

blend. The cigar opens with savory earth and toasted wood, then
gradually reveals touches of cocoa and a subtle sweetness that
balances the natural spice. Its smaller ring gauge sharpens the
flavors without sacrificing smoothness, making it a great pick
for smokers who enjoy a focused, flavorful profile in a classic
format.
