CAO Amazon Basin Extra Anejo

The CAO Amazon Basin Extra Añejo is the next release in the Amazon Basin Series. Like recent iterations of Amazon Basin, it’s a 6 x 52 toro that uses an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and fillers from Brazil, Colombia and the Dominican Republic. The blend is highlighted by Bragança tobacco, which General Cigar Co. comes from the Amazon rainforest. The company says that the tobacco is harvested just once every three years and is rolled into tubes for six months to receive fermentation. It then describes an arduous process of getting the tobacco out of the Amazon, something that General says involves transportation via canoes.

What sets apart the Extra Añejo from previous releases is that these cigars were rolled in 2021. General says they will head to stores after spending two years in a Spanish cedar-lined aging room.
