Cedar Aged
CAO Amazon Basin Extra Añejo
CAO Amazon Basin Extra Añejo is the Amazon Basin blend aged an additional two years in a cedar‑lined room, preserving the Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and filler featuring Brazilian Bragança, Colombia and the Dominican Republic. Placed in the Medium–Full lane, it opens on earth and toasted oak with an early stewed‑fruit sweetness that mellows as the cigar progresses. Issued as a limited Toro in January 2023, the release emphasizes aged sweetness and rounded transitions.

This is the Amazon Basin recipe given time: finished cigars were rested for two extra years in a Spanish‑cedar aging room to smooth sharper edges and concentrate fermentation notes from the Bragança leaf. The Extra Añejo keeps the Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper and Nicaraguan binder while delivering a medium–full mouthfeel—dark earth and toasted oak up front, an early raisin‑like sweetness that recedes, then chocolate and sweet‑wood moments on the retrohale. Construction is generally solid across samples, and the extra aging makes the profile noticeably rounder and a touch sweeter than the core Amazon Basin expression.
