CAO Pilon Gigante 6" * 60

The CAO Pilon Gigante is a medium bodied toro whose tobacco has been specially fermented using the pilone method. It is a centuries old method in which dried tobacco is carefully stacked in piles. This fermentation process helps to maximize the tobacco leaves’ flavor and color. Resulting in a taste and appearance that is unattainable by using other methods. The Pilon sports a mouthwatering, dark Ecuadorian Habano maduro wrapper that covers a binder and a filler made of Nicaraguan leaves. By combining this awesome blend with its fermentation process, the Pilon delivers warm deep woody and spicy notes with an underlying sweetness. The CAO Pilon is handmade in Nicaragua.

  CAO Pilon

  CAP Pilon is named after the "Pilón", in tobacco parlance, a stack of dried tobacco leaves that is created to begin the process of fermentation. Fermenting tobacco in a pilon is an old Cuban tradition that allows natural fermentation with maximum flavor and color. The makers of CAO have blended a cigar using a silky Ecuadorian Habano wrapper leaf that has been fermented in a pilon. The wrapper has a beautiful color and the cigar is woody, spicy and sweet.
