CAO Welcomes Fans to the Jungle with a 2025 Amazon Basin Re-Release

CAO Amazon Basin will return to stores this month. Launched in 2014, Amazon Basin is a limited-edition blend that offers an exotic and flavorful smoking experience. The 6 x 52 ($14.49) features a rare tobacco called “Bragança,” which is organically grown on tropical land in the Amazon Rainforest. Seedlings are transplanted into the soil a yard apart, resulting in less than half the yield of other tobacco plants.

The leaves are rolled into tubes called “carottes,” which undergo six months of fermentation.

“When we launched Amazon Basin over a decade ago, we had no idea how much it would resonate with fans. Sourcing rare tobacco from the rainforest, transporting it by canoe, and growing it on unspoiled land was a logistical nightmare—but we knew the end result was a cigar worth the effort,” Cory Beardsley, brand manager for CAO, said in a press release.
