CAO Flathead cigars are a popular box-pressed collection of Maduro cigars from the CAO cigar company that are hand rolled in the Dominican Republic. Flathead cigars are full-bodied and are named after car parts celebrating the muscle car movement & the American auto-making industry. The lineup of CAO Flathead cigars has become known as some of the top-rated cigars in America; rolled with top-quality Nicaraguan tobacco leaves, an Ecuadorian Connecticut binder & topped with a delicate dark & well-fermented Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper they deliver notes of earthy, black pepper & sweet cocoa to the palate. The CAO Flathead has also roared to the top of the ratings & earned a 95 cigar rating, along with capturing the 3rd position on the Best Cigars of 2015 List by Cigar Aficionado.
Celebrate some good old-fashioned American nostalgia. Inspired by 1950’s muscle cars and pin-up chicks, CAO Flathead is a fitting tribute to the USA. CAO brand manager Ed McKenna says of the line, “Rick Rodriguez and I were talking about the great people we’ve met at CAO events across the country and about the conversations we’ve had with them…it didn’t take us long to realize that the conversations were always about the same things: cigars, cars, and girls.” Boasting a unique, squared-off head and a box meant to mimic an engine block, Flathead is like nothing you’ve seen before. This dark beauty starts with a well-fermented Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper sourced from top-quality tobacco leaves. Under the hood, you’ll find thick and chewy Nicaraguan and Dominican long-fillers secured with a Connecticut Habano seed binder. Prepare the palate for notes of earth, black pepper, and cocoa that culminate beautifully into a full-bodied experience that lingers long after you finish. Enjoy great billowing clouds of smoke throughout the whole experience. Plus, the removable box lid doubles as a one-of-a-kind art piece that you can treasure forever. #3 Cigar of 2015 – ’95’ Rated by Cigar Aficionado. CAO Flathead is just another cigar success story. Made to capture the spirit of the roaring 70’s muscle car movement, these cigars have catchy names like Camshaft, Sparkplug, and Big Block. Try one of these powerhouses for nostalgia and be transported back to a simpler time. These are all full-bodied cigars meant to kick-start your taste buds.

Good full flavor cigar. Smooth draw. Like this one with a glass of bourbon at night
