CAO Amazon Basin 2026

The CAO Amazon Basin 2026 marks the highly anticipated return of one of the most distinctive and collectible limited-edition cigars ever produced by CAO. Revered for its exotic tobacco sourcing and unmistakable character, Amazon Basin has earned cult status among cigar enthusiasts who seek flavor profiles rooted in both rarity and craftsmanship.

Presented in a 6 × 52 Toro, this medium-to-full-bodied cigar is built around the legendary Brazilian Bragança tobacco, grown deep within the Amazon rainforest. This rare leaf is harvested only once every three years and cultivated under unique conditions that contribute to its strength, depth, and unmistakable earthy character. After harvest, the tobacco undergoes a specialized fermentation and aging process that enhances balance while preserving its raw, natural intensity.

The blend is finished with an Ecuadorian Sumatra-seed wrapper and a Nicaraguan binder, complemented by a diverse filler composition that brings together tobaccos from Brazil, Colombia, and the Dominican Republic. This combination creates a layered and evolving smoking experience defined by notes of rich earth, cedar, espresso, cocoa, and subtle dried fruit, balanced by warm spice and natural sweetness.

What sets the CAO Amazon Basin 2026 apart is not only its flavor but also its story and presentation. Each cigar reflects CAO’s commitment to sourcing unique tobaccos from some of the most remote regions in the world, resulting in a smoking experience that feels truly different from traditional blends. The Amazon Basin series has become a benchmark for cigars built around rare agricultural heritage rather than repetition.

As a limited annual release, Amazon Basin is produced in restricted quantities and is known to sell quickly upon arrival. It fits naturally alongside other rare and small-batch cigars in a premium humidor, appealing to collectors and enthusiasts who value both uniqueness and depth.

Available at The Tobacconist of Greenwich, the CAO Amazon Basin 2026 is an essential addition for those seeking a rare cigar with a compelling origin, bold flavor, and a legacy unlike any other in the CAO portfolio.
