CAO Session Shop (Toro)

The CAO Session Shop (Toro), a precious piece of American craftsmanship, catches the eye with its dark and shiny wrapper, a reflection of the Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro that composes it. In hand, the satin and slightly irregular texture of the wrapper suggests undeniable quality, although its visual appearance may seem slightly rustic.

At the first puff, the fresh aroma of this cigar reveals rich notes of cocoa and earth, intertwining in a delicate dance of sweetness. Upon lighting, you will discover a complex olfactory palette where coffee notes gently weave in, while subtle red fruits bloom in the background.

The tasting unfolds over three thirds, offering a fascinating progression. The first third, dominated by flavors of cocoa, red fruits, and a hint of spice, sets the stage for the arrival of roasted coffee in the second, where the balance strengthens while maintaining a beautiful creaminess. Finally, the last third approaches a more woody experience, sprinkled with notes of nuts, combining complexity and delicate coherence.

In the finish, this cigar stands out with its lasting sensation, leaving a smooth and slightly bitter aftertaste of cocoa. Its mouthfeel and balance of strength/sweetness make it an enticing choice for cigar enthusiasts. The CAO Session Shop presents itself as an attractive option for extended tasting moments, enriched by warm and gourmet notes.

Ideal to enjoy on a lazy afternoon, paired with a beverage such as an espresso or a dessert wine to enhance its pre-light aromas. Whether you are a novice or a connoisseur, this session promises delightful aromatic surprises.
