CAO Pilon Toro Box-Pressed is a very special premium handmade cigar that has resurrecting a seldom used and painstaking fermentation method called “ the circular pilon”. In a traditional pilon the tobacco is sorted into a giant square stack. In a circular pilon, the tobaccos are meticulously placed in a circular pattern that ferments the tobacco at a slower rate of speed, thus enhancing its maturation and flavor. CAO Pilon is a perfectly square pressed cigar that comes dressed in a stunning Ecuador Habano wrapper, encasing perfectly aged binder and long filler tobaccos fr...om Nicaragua. The finished product is a slow burning smoke with captivating tasting notes of earth, pepper, coffee, vanilla, and leather. CAO is a company that is always on the cutting edge of creating new and exciting ways to handcraft their cigars, but, with Pilon, they decided to turn back the hands of time and employ a fermentation method that dates back to the 19th century in Cuba. It’s truly a brand that never ceases to amaze the cigar smoking community! CAO Pilon Toro Box-Pressed is available right here at JR Cigar in surprisingly affordable boxes of 20. Order yours today!

CAO Pilon

Mainly cedar flavors. Super firm construction. Drawing was a bit tight. Ran in the last third. 5 months of rest. I usually like to wait a year on these. Will let the rest of them sit.

Repeat review. 9 months has done wonders for the flavors of and added some complexity. Burning draw and smoke production outstanding. Notes of pepper and cinnamon maybe? A medium flavor and strength.

These are always dependable. Good burn and draw. Firm construction. Classic Ecuadorian habano wrapper and flavors. I have yet done try to the aged version and look forward to it.

A straight forward cigar. Notes consist mostly of sweet cedar. The draw is light and easy, and the burn stayed fairly level throughout. Solid construction. Nothing over the top but a consistent cigar overall.

CAO Pilon

Good draw, good ash. Stayed lit and didn't need a touchup. Unlit grass smell. Burned unevely, but not conoe. Taste was lacking, except for last third which started showing promise. I'm dissapointed overall. Jamison was not a good pairing (my fault). Stick may have benefited from stronger whiskey or and earthy Scotch.

I really like the band on this CAO Pilon. It's pretty cool how it list the wrapper, binder, and filler. I get a light woody flavor with hits of bread or cracker. Nothing really bold but a good smoke nevertheless.
