CAO Fasa Sol Toro 10pk

Product Description

Given the current focus on popular cigar destinations such as Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic, it is important to include some CAO brand cigars in your collection. The General Cigar Co. has a talent for highlighting lesser-known regions and making their leaves stand out in their selection. This was evident in the past with CAO's Brazilian-wrapped cigars and is now reflected in their latest release, the FASA Sol. This moderately-priced cigar pays tribute to the heritage and tobacco of Honduras, according to the company's top blendmasters. What makes this line from CAO even more intriguing is its duality, with the Sol representing the daytime and the Noche representing the night. Both cigars share the same binder and filler, but differ in their wrapper. Ed Lahmann, Senior Brand Manager at CAO, explained to Cigar Aficionado that while the two cigars are similar in many ways, they also have distinct differences, like night and day. The CAO FASA Sol and CAO FASA Noche are listed as medium-bodied, but the company encourages smokers to try both and decide for themselves. The Sol boasts a binder from Cameroon, fillers from Nicaragua's Jalapa, Estelí, and Condega regions, and a rarely used, yet delectable Honduran Olancho San Agustin wrapper with a rich brown color. This wrapper adds a unique flavor profile of Ceylon cinnamon and toasted almond to the cigar. The experts at CAO recommend pairing it with a Kentucky-style bourbon, a Nicaraguan rum (such as Flor de Caña), or a café cortado, a combination of espresso and steamed milk. While the intention is for the Sol to be enjoyed during the day and the Noche after dinner, the truth is that the Sol is a complex and versatile cigar that pairs well with both bold coffees and robust bourbons, making it suitable for any occasion.
