CAO Flathead Carb 660 Gordo

Worth knowing

The creativity of cigar producers can sometimes be dazzling. You have to come up with the idea of designing a cigar in the shape and box design of a large-volume car engine and naming it accordingly! But the result is a great, savoury smoke for approx. 75 - 90 minutes.

Flavour

It's not just the sight of the flat-pressed gordo in the dark broadleaf wrapper that's rustic - the flavour also packs a punch! Carried throughout by a beautifully earthy and malty basic character, the perfectly drawn "Brickett" combines the typical smoky BBQ notes of the wrapper leaf in the most pleasant way with a subtle liquorice sweetness, a wonderful cocoa note that tends more towards espresso towards the end and a multitude of expressive, yet never over-present spice facets such as pepper and ginger, whose pleasantly warming and spicy character enriches the aroma of this rather strong cigar.
