San Andrés
CAO Zócalo
CAO Zócalo features a Mexican San Andrés Morrón wrapper over a Cameroon binder and Nicaraguan fillers, produced at STG Estelí. First issued as a limited 6 x 60 in 2018 and returned to regular production in 2021, it sits in the medium to medium‑full range with earth, cocoa/mocha, cedar and black pepper plus a touch of dark‑fruit sweetness.

Zócalo's San Andrés Morrón wrapper steers the blend toward roasted‑earth and cocoa tones, while the Cameroon binder and Nicaraguan fillers keep the smoke balanced and textured. The profile emphasizes earthy backbone with mocha and cedar and a peppery retrohale; early dark‑fruit sweetness fades as the cigar dries into mineral and oak. It's a hearty, workmanlike stick that shows what San Andrés leaf brings to a Nicaraguan‑centric core.
