CAO Flathead Speed Shop V654 Crankshaft
CAO Flathead Speed Shop V654 Crankshaft
CAO developed the Flathead Speed Shop as a different expression of the brand’s well-known Flathead concept, keeping the line’s box-pressed profile and automotive attitude while dialing the blend toward a more measured, medium-bodied character. The V654 Crankshaft is the 6 1/2 x 54 frontmark in the lineup, wrapped in Ecuadorian Habano over a Mexican San Andrés binder with Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers.
That combination delivers a focused profile built around earth, hay, dried wood, and nuts, with the binder adding a subtle touch of sweetness underneath the cigar’s firm structure. In this size, expect roughly 75 to 105 minutes of smoking time at an easy pace, making it a strong fit for smokers who enjoy fuller presentation from the Flathead family but want a blend with better balance and steadier composure.
