Pilón
A Pilón is a stack of leaves that ferments the tobacco to maximize the flavor and color. That technique takes center stage in CAO Pilón.
Story
A Pilón is a carefully layered stack of tobacco leaves that helps ferment the tobacco to maximize the flavor and color of the leaves. Dating back to 19th century Cuba, this natural method of fermentation delivers a taste and appearance that just can’t be reached otherwise. CAO Pilón uses this time-honored method to give you a cigar with deep, rich colors and unprecedented depth of flavor.
