Master Blender, Rick Rodriguez, and the CAO blending team make a return to their roots with CAO Nicaragua, the brand’s first Nicaraguan-centric blend. Where our tobacco specialists typically travel the globe seeking new tobaccos to use in the brand’s blends, CAO Nicaragua is a striking tribute to the brand’s homeland. At the core of CAO Nicaragua is a selection of Nicaraguan Jalapa, Estelí, and Condega leaves, clad in a Honduran Jamastran wrapper, and bound with Jamastran to dial up the intensity of this homegrown smoke. Rick Rodriguez said, “Nicaragua’s rich volcanic soils and ideal humidity, temperature, and sunlight create the perfect growing conditions for tobacco. For CAO Nicaragua, the team and I wanted to bring the essence of Nicaraguan tobacco to life in a way that only CAO can do. So, we selected the blend starting with the filler, utilizing leaves representing three distinctive microclimates and three distinctive tastes.”
