The CAO Amazon Basin 2026 is the newest release of one of CAO’s most sought‑after limited‑edition premium cigars. First introduced in 2014, Amazon Basin became famous for its rare Bragança tobacco, a leaf grown deep in Brazil’s Amazon rainforest. The plants are spaced a full yard apart, producing very small yields. After harvest, the leaves are rolled into “carottes” and aged for six months before blending.
The 2026 edition keeps the original concept: an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, a Nicaraguan binder, and filler tobaccos from Brazil, Colombia, and the Dominican Republic. The Bragança leaf adds earthy, rustic, and naturally sweet flavors that you don’t find in typical blends.
Expect a medium‑full profile with notes of earth, spice, wood, natural sweetness, and a dense, chewy smoke. The cigar burns slow and steady, delivering a unique flavor experience built around rare rainforest tobacco.
