CAO Arcana Stokk Belicoso
CAO Arcana Stokk Belicoso
Created in partnership with Peter Stokkebye, CAO Arcana Stokk Belicoso takes an uncommon approach by bringing pipe-tobacco tradition into a premium handmade cigar. Released in 2025 as part of the Arcana series, this limited-edition 6 1/2 x 52 Belicoso is made in Nicaragua at STG EstelĂ with a U.S. Broadleaf wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and a filler that includes Dominican andullo, Honduran tobacco, and Cyprian latakia.
Its character is built around contrast. The andullo contributes a dense, earthy sweetness, while the latakia introduces the smoky, incense-like depth that makes this release so distinctive. Expect notes of wood, earth, pepper, leather, and dark sweetness, with a more pronounced campfire-style smokiness as the cigar develops. The belicoso format gives the blend a focused presentation and usually offers about 75 to 105 minutes of smoking time, depending on pace.
Produced in a limited run, CAO Arcana Stokk Belicoso stands apart from more traditional line extensions by delivering a profile that moves between classic cigar richness and unmistakable pipe-inspired nuance. It is an especially intriguing choice for smokers drawn to experimental blends, andullo tobacco, or the savory, peated character associated with latakia.
