The CAO Pilón Corona is a beautifully crafted cigar that offers a refined and rich smoking experience. Measuring 5 ½ x 44, this corona-sized cigar is part of the Pilon line, which draws its inspiration from the traditional method of fermentation known as pilon—where tobacco leaves are piled in a fermentation process to enhance their flavor. This method, used for centuries, gives the Pilon Corona a unique and deeply flavorful profile that stands out in the CAO lineup.
The cigar is wrapped in a silky Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, which provides a smooth texture and an alluring aroma. Beneath the wrapper, the filler and binder tobaccos are a blend of Nicaraguan and Honduran leaves, meticulously selected to create a perfect balance of flavor. The result is a medium-bodied smoke that is rich in complexity and smooth in execution.
Upon lighting, the CAO Pilón Corona greets the smoker with notes of cedar, earth, and leather, creating a bold and inviting start. As the cigar burns, subtle hints of spice, coffee, and a mild sweetness emerge, offering an evolving flavor profile that keeps the palate engaged throughout. The burn is even, with a smooth draw and a firm ash, which is indicative of its excellent craftsmanship.
The CAO Pilón Corona is a perfect choice for cigar enthusiasts who appreciate a well-balanced, medium-bodied smoke with a rich history behind its creation. Ideal for those looking for a flavorful and satisfying smoke, it’s a great option for both seasoned smokers and those new to the world of premium cigars.
