CAO AMAZON FUMA EM CORDA ROBUSTO

CAO fuma em corda for sale. Possibly one of the most interesting and talked about cigars at the 2014 IPCPR Convention and Trade Show was the CAO Amazon Basin. Using a tobacco grown in the Amazon Rain Forest, Bragança, the difficulty of harvesting and transportation of this tobacco is what made it rare, and that rare tobacco is what made this such a unique blend.

This year, General Cigar Co. announced the second and third in a trilogy of CAO Amazon releases, the Fuma Em Corda. The name translates into smoke on a rope which is also the name of the fermenting process for the arapiraca tobacco from the Brazilian state of Alagoas.

After this fermentation process, the tobacco was then sent to Honduras where it was blended with the previously mentioned Brazilian Bragança tobacco, along with Cameroon, Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos to create the finished product. Unlike the first Amazon release, this one has two sizes: a robusto that was sent to brick and mortar stores and a toro that was sent to catalog retailers. In addition, while the wide release hasn’t happened yet, the final cigar in the trilogy will be the CAO Amazon Anaconda.

While the wrapper is quite soft, the twisted tobacco rope in place of a band gives it a rustic look. The Fuma Em Corda is firm, with just the right amount of give to it. The aroma coming off the wrapper is earthy and fruity, almost like sweet, overripe fruit note. That sweet, overripe fruit note continues into the cold draw, almost like a banana and a peach orchard note. Along with that is some cinnamon, coriander and a light floral note.

Starting into the first third there is a lot of sweet spice up front, along with the fruit note continuing into the lit profile, while in the background are notes of light pepper, oak and a touch of earthiness. The burn certainly doesn’t start out perfectly, though while it’s a little jagged, it’s mostly even.
Smoke production is very interesting, with it being almost anemic at times until a couple of draws, at which point it’s the thickest, most dense smoke I can remember seeing. The draw could be a factor in this for sure, as it’s towards the tighter end of ideal, though still within acceptable limits. Leather and a hint of cocoa have also shown up, mostly residing as light notes that appear occasionally.
