Using pressure and moisture to create heat and initiate fermentation to remove the undesirable components of tobacco such as ammonia is helping the tobacco to become smokable and enjoyable. The style of pilón that Garcia and Rodriguez came across is smaller than the ones commonly found in modern day factories; they are smaller in terms of dimensions and are round, while most these days are rectangular. According to General Cigar Co., which owns the CAO brand, there are both positives and negatives to this old-world style: the smaller pilón takes longer to ferment tobacco because it generates less heat, but that longer time is believed to result in a greater reduction of ammonia and sugar content, which improve combustion. CAO’s blending team applied this time-honoured method for the production of the Pilon cigar, the result is a deep, rich, and silky smoke. The result is a collection of cigars that has a rich, deep colour and a superb depth of flavours with hints of oak, spice, creaminess, woodsy, and sweet notes.

Additional information

The CAO Pilón Robusto Extra is a bold, medium-bodied cigar that promises a rich and flavorful experience from start to finish. With its 5 x 52 size, this Robusto Extra offers a perfect balance of strength and flavor, ideal for those who enjoy a satisfying smoke with a touch of complexity. The cigar’s name, Pilon, is inspired by a traditional fermentation method used to enhance the flavor profile of the tobacco leaves, giving this cigar its unique character.

The CAO Pilón Robusto Extra is wrapped in a beautiful Ecuadorian Sumatra leaf, which provides a smooth, slightly oily texture and an enticing aroma. The binder is Nicaraguan, while the filler consists of a mix of carefully chosen tobaccos from Nicaragua and Honduras, creating a harmonious blend that delivers depth and richness.

Upon lighting, the CAO Pilón Robusto Extra delivers an immediate burst of earthy and woody flavors, accompanied by hints of cedar and a mild spice. As the cigar burns, these initial flavors develop into more complex notes of coffee, cream, and subtle sweetness, with a slight peppery finish that lingers on the palate. The cigar burns evenly with a smooth draw, producing a firm ash and a consistent, cool smoke.

For those seeking a premium cigar with a rich and nuanced flavor profile, the CAO Pilón Robusto Extra offers a satisfying and rewarding experience. Its medium-bodied strength and excellent craftsmanship make it an excellent choice for cigar aficionados who appreciate complexity and depth in their cigars.
