  CAO Flathead V21

  The CAO Flathead V21 is the pumped up cousin to the Flathead family. The brand was created as an homage to muscle cars, and because of the cigar’s unique box shape and flat head. This torqued up next-of-kin underwent a short fermentation process which gives the V21 its extra strength and body. It’s like a dragster on NOS. The V21 then went through a longer than usual aging process to allow the flavors to become more refined. Like the original Flathead, the V21 has that same flavor profile but with more depth and complexity. The CAO Flathead V21 is handmade in Nicaragua, under the supervision of Rick Rodriquez, CAO’s Brand Ambassador and top cigar crafter.

  Box-Pressed (Square)

  A box pressed cigar is a cigar that has a square shape. Originally, this shape came from the practice of packing round cigars tightly in cardboard boxes which are then compacted using a manual press. The cigars are thus pressed into each other and become a "squarish" or semi-square shape. Today, cigar makers use square shaped molds or a wooden trunk press for their box pressed cigars, achieving a more defined square section.
