CAO Pilón

The originality of CAO Pilón cigars lies in their wrapper leaves, which have undergone the Pilón fermentation process, a Cuban technique dating back to the early 19th century. This involves making small round piles of tobacco so that it ferments more slowly and intensely. This process takes much longer, but produces stunning results. It reduces ammonia and sugars in the tobacco leaf, which improves taste and aroma. It also harmonizes tobacco leaf colors.

The result is a rich, complex aromatic palette.
