CAO Amazon Basin

4.0/5from 1 member

Cultivated deep within a remote tropical rainforest and harvested just once every three years, Braganca tobacco ranks among the rarest tobaccos in the world. After harvest, the leaves are hand-rolled into tubes and fermented for six months before being transported by canoe from the jungle back to the mainland—a process as untamed as the region itself. For CAO Amazon Basin, this exotic Braganca tobacco is blended with leaves from five different countries and finished in a dark Ecuadorian Sumatra ligero wrapper. Despite the blend’s international complexity, the distinctive aroma and flavor of the rare Amazonian tobacco immediately stand out.
