CAO Flathead V19 is a box‑pressed, flat‑capped line built around a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper and a Connecticut Habano binder with Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers.

V19 amplifies Flathead's darker tendencies: Broadleaf tooth and dense, box‑pressed texture produce thick, chewy draws heavy on dark chocolate and molasses. Cedar and earth anchor the midpalate while black pepper often reads strongest on the retrohale; leather and espresso notes come forward later. The combination of abbreviated fermentation and extended aging accentuates primary flavors for a more muscular Broadleaf expression.
