CAO INTRODUCES AMAZON BASIN DAGGERS, A NEW TAKE ON A CULT CLASSIC

CAO is expanding its limited-edition series with the launch of Amazon Basin Daggers, a new cigar that brings the signature Amazon Basin blend to a compact 4 x 38 format. Handcrafted at STG Estelí and shipping in June 2025, Daggers brings the same blend to a shorter format. This small cigar is offered in limited quantities and packaged in convenient five-count packs.

Cory Beardsley, brand manager for CAO, said, “Amazon Basin fans are some of the most passionate in the cigar world. We’ve seen how quickly the original sells out and heard the same question every year: when are we getting more? Daggers are our answer to that. It’s the same blend, same rainforest story, now available in a new format.”

The Bragança leaf is grown organically on unspoiled tropical land, rolled by hand into tubes called carottes, and fermented under high pressure before being transported by canoe from the rainforest. Once at CAO’s factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, the Bragança is blended with Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, a Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos from Colombia and the Dominican Republic.
