The Flathead that fits a weeknight. The CAO Flathead V554 Camshaft (5 1/2 x 54) is a box-pressed toro on the same blend as the V660 Carb, Cigar Aficionado's No. 3 Cigar of 2015 (95).
A Connecticut Broadleaf maduro wrapper over a Connecticut Habano binder, with Dominican and Nicaraguan filler, made in Nicaragua. Dark chocolate, black coffee and an earthy sweetness, dense and full-bodied. About 65 minutes, a Power Hour™ smoke on the Burn Clock.
Every Flathead is named for an engine part, and the whole garage runs on one blend. The V450 Sparkplug is your 45-minute quick start. The V554 and the slim V642 Piston cruise at about 65. The award-winning V660 Carb runs about 85, and the V770 Big Block is a two-hour haul. The V554 is the one most of the Nation should start with: the full Flathead experience without clearing your whole evening.
Bourbon, a dark ale or a cold brew. Boxes of 24. Explore more CAO cigars and full-bodied cigars.
