CAO Pilon Corona

The CAO Pilon Corona showcases a traditional approach to cigar craftsmanship, centred around the historic Cuban pilon fermentation method. Dating back to the 19th century, this process involves stacking tobacco leaves in small, circular formations to promote a slower and more natural fermentation.

This enhances the flavour, colour and smoothness of the tobacco while reducing ammonia and sugar levels, resulting in a cleaner burn and improved combustion.

Expertly blended by Agustin Garcia and Rick Rodriguez, this cigar features a refined Ecuadorian wrapper paired with a rich Nicaraguan binder and filler.

The Corona format delivers a more focused and refined smoking experience, with notes of cedar, earth, toasted nuts, cocoa and subtle spice. Medium to full in strength, it offers excellent balance, a smooth draw and a consistent burn from start to finish.

Crafted using a labour-intensive, time-honoured process, the CAO Pilon Corona is an excellent choice for those who appreciate precision, complexity and traditional cigar-making techniques.
