CAO Amazon Basin Daggers Limited Edition – Compact Adventure with Rare Bragança Tobacco
Experience the mystique of CAO’s famed Amazon Basin in a time-friendly format. Amazon Basin Daggers condense the blend’s legendary character into a 4 x 38 small-gauge cigar, handcrafted in Nicaragua with the rare Brazilian Bragança leaf—organically grown deep in the Amazon and harvested only once every three years. Wrapped in Ecuadorian Sumatra and bound with Nicaraguan leaf, each Dagger delivers an earthy, naturally sweet profile with cocoa, espresso, subtle fruit, and gentle spice.
- Rare Bragança core: Wild-grown, organic Brazilian leaf harvested triennially for a uniquely earthy, soulful profile
- Time-efficient format: Compact 4 x 38 size offers a rich, complex experience when time is short
- Nuanced flavor spectrum: Earth, espresso/cocoa, light fruit tones, and balanced sweetness with gentle spice
- Artisan journey: Bragança fermented naturally and transported by river and hand from rainforest to factory
- Limited edition: Small-batch production crafted for collectors and flavor explorers
- Premium construction: Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper over Nicaraguan binder for clean burn and consistency
The Daggers carry forward the Amazon Basin’s signature character while tailoring the experience to shorter sessions. The Ecuadorian Sumatra-seed wrapper brings a silky texture and aromatic lift, the Nicaraguan binder steadies combustion, and the filler triad—Brazilian Bragança, Colombian, and Dominican—interweaves depth and nuance. Expect a progression from damp earth and dark cocoa to espresso, dried fruit suggestions, and a lingering, gentle spice that never overwhelms.
Ideal as a palate-reset or a dedicated mini-session, Daggers pair effortlessly with espresso, dark rum, or a robust porter. Their compact stature makes them a versatile addition to any rotation, especially for moments when you want distinctive flavor without the longer time commitment of a full-sized vitola.
Each limited-edition bundle reflects a supply chain rooted in tradition—from rainforest cultivation and natural fermentation to hand transport and meticulous production—resulting in a memorable small-format cigar that tells a story as compelling as its flavor.
