IT'S OUR MISSION
It’s our mission to explore the world for undiscovered and underutilized tobaccos, and we created the CAO Escaparate line to let you get in on the action. Each year, we’re releasing a new Escaparate cigar that is only available to those who attend special CAO events.
These aren’t everyday cigars. Instead, they feature tobaccos and growing methods with exciting potential we’ve reserved for tobacco fanatics like us. We’re enlisting you to help decide if they are worthy of wearing the CAO name.
Escaparate 2023 TAM.095
Experience a cigar reminiscent of CAO’s humble beginnings. To craft this blend, we called our old friend Victor Calvo at Tabacalera Tambor to craft a Maduro using his original blend recipe from one of our very first cigars released in 1995. The result is a broadleaf cigar nearly identical to the one that put us on the map three decades ago.
To experience this year's cigar, attend one of the Escaparate events listed at the bottom of this page.
