The biggest cigar we carry. The CAO Flathead V770 Big Block (7 x 70) is a 70-ring box-pressed monster, and at about 120 minutes it is the longest Weekend Warrior™ on the Burn Clock.
It is 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. All that girth gives a cool, slow burn and a lot of smoke, with espresso, dark cocoa, leather and peppery spice. Full-bodied.
Plan a long afternoon or a whole evening around it, ideally outdoors. Spiced rum, an imperial stout or a pot of coffee. Boxes of 24. Explore more CAO cigars and full-bodied cigars.
