CAO Flathead V23 MK 1 660
CAO Flathead V23 MK 1 660
Created to mark the 100th anniversary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the CAO Flathead V23 MK 1 660 carries the Flathead line’s automotive theme into a limited, large-ring format with a GT-inspired presentation. This 6 x 60 box-pressed cigar uses a Honduran Jamastran wrapper over a Nicaraguan Habano binder and a filler blend of Brazilian Mata Fina, Honduran Jamastran Viso, Nicaraguan Jalapa Viso, and Nicaraguan Esteli Ligero.
The blend lands in the medium to full-bodied range, with a profile centered on earth, nuts, raisin-like sweetness, and pepper. Its broad 6 x 60 format gives the cigar a leisurely pace, making it a practical choice for an unhurried session of roughly 90 to 120 minutes, depending on cadence. Fans of substantial, box-pressed cigars and the bolder side of CAO’s portfolio will find plenty to like here.
