Blue Smoke - CAO's New Stick !

Cigar smoking is a low-tech activity. The product itself has barely changed in a century; it still comprises only a roll of leaves and a tiny smear of glue, and it is made with the simplest of tools. Some may be rattled by CAO International's - "The Vision"- the company’s latest cigar. The glossy white finish of The Vision’s box attracts attention even at a distance, especially in a walk-in humidor filled with cedar cigar boxes. The digital hygrometer allows you to monitor the air inside, to see that it remains at the 68 to 70 percent humidity level that keeps cigars in prime condition. Lift the lid and discover the blue LED lights illuminate the perimeters and the lid of the box. There’s a flat chamber under the cigars that holds a device called a Humidipak. The Humidipak looks something like a ketchup pack at the fast food joint. It contains a liquid that can add humidity to the box or take it away. The Humidipak regulates the humidity within the box to a perfect 68 to 70 percent, a level the device will be able to maintain for about three months. The cigars inside are easily the most refined from CAO ever. The smoke’s subtle, complex flavor comes from extended aging in an exceptionally fragrant Spanish cedar room—and from its Dominican heritage. The Vision is the first Dominican-made cigar from the 38-year-old company, which sources most of its products from Honduras and Nicaragua, countries known for more powerful, if less refined, cigars than those from the Dominican Republic. The Vision finally came to fruition when CAO discovered a Cuban-seed Dominican wrapper grown on the La Atravezada farm in Navarrete Combining the wrapper with Brazilian, Nicaraguan, and Dominican filler tobaccos and a Dominican binder yielded the meaty, mouth-filling experience with a trace of white pepper in the nose. CAO plans to release shipments of The Vision only a few times a year. The cigar is available in three sizes. A neoprene travel bag that protects against scratches accompanies every Vision box.
