CAO Vision 2022 for sale

CAO Vision 2022 for sale. One of the more pleasant surprises of 2020 was the return of one of the most unique cigar packaging concepts ever released: the CAO Vision.

The original CAO Vision debuted in 2007 in a gloss white box that incorporated a blue LED light on the inside. When plugged into a wall outlet, the inside of the box—both top and bottom—would glow blue. For more than a decade, the Vision was a piece of a history that would get referenced as one of the crazier packaging ideas ever to be released. It came out before I started smoking cigars and I never really considered that it might return.

In late 2020, General Cigar Co. announced a new version of the CAO Vision, which paid tribute to the cigar’s packaging, albeit in an updated fashion. The box still lit up but with the more modern LEDs being more integrated into the overall package. As for the cigar, it was a 7 x 50 Churchill that was noted as being the first time Rick Rodriguez—then CAO’s master blender—had released a cigar with a Cameroon wrapper.

There was no CAO Vision for 2021, but late last year, the company announced that a new version would hit stores in November. While there are still LED lights, the 2022 version is rather different.

There are two very obvious packaging changes. Whereas the first two Visions used a pretty standard flip-top box, the 2022 version uses two trays that slide out from what is a very wide box. Inside each tray are 15 cigars, for a total of 30 cigars. In addition, the blue has been replaced by a burnt orange that looks a bit more copper than the famous University of Texas rendition of the color.

As for the cigar, it’s a 6 x 52 toro that is made entirely of habano-seed tobaccos, including a wrapper from the Jamastran Valley in Honduras over a binder from Jalapa, Nicaragua and fillers from the Condega, Estelí and Jalapa regions of Nicaragua.

The first thing I notice about the CAO Vision 2022 is that the cellophane is too wide. If I had to guess, the cellophane seems like it should be for a 56-ring gauge cigar. It’s loose enough that the cigar can move around from side to side within the cellophane, something I can’t recall seeing in a cigar in quite some time.  Whether it’s visible glue, torn bits of tobacco or what appears to be a gash in the side of one of the cigars, the CAO Vision 2022 does not look like a cigar of this price.
For whatever reason, the wrapper’s aroma reminds me somewhat of the smell of uncooked frozen pizza: some bread, artificial garlic, tomato and spices. It’s a mild sensation, but that was the first place my mind took me.

I find that the bread is maybe more like the smell of pita bread than anything else and there’s quite a bit of generic tobacco flavors.
The foot is very different, reminding me of the smell of a chocolate porter with darker grain flavors and a soft artificial chocolate. One cigar has some sweetened fig flavors, which reminds me it’s been years since I had a Fig Newton, something I enjoy from time to time. The cold draw has generic earthy flavors with mild accents of oranges, sweet lime and tomato juice. One cigar has a slightly open draw, though the other two are fine in that regard.
