CAO Flathead V660 Carb
CAO Flathead V660 Carb
Inspired by the squared-off attitude of classic American hot rods, the CAO Flathead V660 Carb brings that same big-engine character to a bold 6 x 60 box-pressed cigar. This line is built around a dark Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper, an Ecuadorian Connecticut binder, and long-fillers from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic, creating a blend with notable weight, richness, and a distinctly modern CAO identity.
The V660 Carb is one of the largest expressions in the series, and its broad ring gauge gives the blend plenty of room to show its heavier, denser side. Expect a full-flavored profile centered on ripe fruit, leather, and molasses, with the dark wrapper adding depth rather than sweetness alone. Smoked at an easy pace, this 6 x 60 format generally offers about 90 to 120 minutes of smoking time.
This cigar also carries an important place in the line’s history. The CAO Flathead V660 Carb earned a 95 rating and was named the No. 3 cigar in Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 Cigars of 2015, a distinction that helped establish Flathead as one of CAO’s most recognized modern blends. Box presentation stays true to the muscle-car theme, with collectible artwork and a removable lid designed to resemble a vintage engine block.
