CAO CIGARS LAUNCH NEW BONES COLLECTION

Full-time Collection Celebrates Dominoes, Dice and Great Times with Great Smokes . . .

CAO presents “Bones,” a cigar collection made to celebrate the memories that are made when a great cigar is lit and the games begin. Bones was named after dominoes and dice, the deeds that are best done with a cigar in hand and in the company of friends old or new.

CAO’s blender/brand ambassador Rick Rodriguez said, “Bones is about kicking back with your friends with a cold beer in your hand, playing a game, smoking, grilling, talking a little trash, and having the time of your life. And that’s what CAO is about, too. It’s about being yourself, enjoying the people you’re with and not having a care in the world while you’re having your cigar. Most of us need a break right now and Bones is just the cigar for that.”

Rick and the Nicaraguan-based CAO blending team set out to make a medium-to-full-bodied smoke that could easily be the topic of conversation or take the backseat during a game night or any smoking occasion with fellow cigar smokers.  Rick and the team also developed the blend to complement a wide range of libations that go hand-in-hand with a handmade cigar.

Bones features a four year old Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper over a Connecticut Shade binder, while the core blend is comprised of two Honduran tobacco varieties from Jamastran and La Entrada, along with Nicaraguan Estelí and Dominican Piloto Cubano. Bones is a meaty smoke that delivers bold notes of wood, nuts and vanilla.

Bones is a full-time addition to the brand’s top-rated lineup and is handcrafted in Nicaragua at STG Estelí. The brand will ship on August 4th to cigar retailers across the country and will be available in four sizes, each named after classic games of dominoes.

CAO Bones are presented in boxes of 20 cigars in the following sizes:
Chicken Foot (Robusto):  5” x 54 – MSRP per cigar $7.49
Blind Hughie (Toro): 6” x 54 – MSRP per cigar $7.99

Each box also comes with two standard 16mm dice, and the inside lid is outfitted with a felt-covered surface, which is a suitable for playing dice.
