NASHVILLE - CAO premium cigars were awarded a '90' rating ("Outstanding") for its latest release – CAO Vision – in the March 27 edition of Cigar Insider.
Cigar Insider is the bi-monthly newsletter published by Cigar Aficionado magazine, widely recognized as the ultimate authority of the premium cigar industry. The first Dominican-made cigar from CAO, Vision was lauded for its "lush, creamy wrapper" with "very woody…roasted nut flavors and an earthy finish." CAO Vision becomes the ninth brand from CAO to receive a '90’ or above rating from Cigar Insider and Cigar Aficionado, a feat that is unmatched by any other cigar manufacturer. "We are extremely proud of this recognition," remarked CAO President Tim Ozgener. "We had been interested in adding a Dominican-made cigar to our portfolio of brands for a long time, and Vision is the culmination of years of effort towards creating what we finally deemed as the perfect blend for this cigar."
Packaged in humidified boxes of 20 cigars, CAO Vision is available in three shapes: Catalyst (5" x 50), Epiphany (6" x 50), and the torpedo-shaped Prana (6 ¼" x 52). œ
