CAO FASA General Cigar Co. is set to make some additions to its CAO portfolio at the 2024 PCA Convention & Trade Show this week, as the CAO FASA Sol and FASA Noche will be unveiled as full-time, regular production lines.
The two lines share a common core blend, using a Cameroon binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic and three of Nicaragua?s growing regions. Where they differ is in the wrapper, with the CAO FASA Sol using a Honduran Olancho San Agustin wrapper, which the company says gives the cigar a profile that gradually increases in strength to a medium-plus profile highlightd by roasted almonds, five spice and toast.
The CAO FASA Noche uses a Connecticut-grown broadleaf wrapper, which the company says imparts a ?bold and transformative? effect on the profile. It?s described as a ?medium-bodied and full-flavored profile, layered with nuances of molasses, white pepper, chili powder and dark roast coffee,? in a press release.
