New CAO Five Packs
From Cigaraficionado.com

Unique Figurado Collection from C.A.O.

Posted: Monday, August 07, 2006

By David Savona

Lovers of unusually shaped and creatively crafted cigars should examine C.A.O.'s Brazilia vs. Italia: Artistry of Champions sampler set. The collection of five cigars breaks new ground in cigar making.

Two of the shaped cigars are C.A.O. Italia blends, two are C.A.O. Brazilias and one is a combination of the two blends dubbed "Bratalia." Two of the cigars feature oversized trumpets with feet nearly wide enough to serve as baseball bats.

C.A.O. International Inc. vice president Tim Ozgener said that it took some trial and error to get the trumpets right. The original ring gauge was an impossible-to-light 137 -- the final version, no doubt one of the fattest feet on the cigar market, comes in at about 96 ring.

The sampler retails for $100.

Re: New CAO Five Packs
Those are some crazy cigars, I think the trumpet would be awkward to smoke.

Re: New CAO Five Packs
If it wasn't for the fact that our resident news hound, Robert found 'em I would swear they were Photoshopped. Those are some CRAZY looking smokes. I guess their marketing people had nothing else to do after coming up with a cigar box/humidor that lights up ( the Vision )

Interesting none the less...

Re: New CAO Five Packs
Those cigars look crazy-the only one that id even think about smoking is the middle one-the rest would jest be purely for looking at.

Re: New CAO Five Packs
Do you think they originated with an apprentice roller screwing up and then someone said "hey cool, Can you do that again?"

Re: New CAO Five Packs
Haha. They put the actual flags on the cigars using different wrappers and the one in the middle is the combination of the two blends... pretty unusual/creative/
