# CAO BX3 Cigar

CAO defined a category of cigars in the early 2000s that took flavor and strength to new levels. MX2, CX2, LX2 created something unique that resonated with cigar smokers who were craving something different. Double the maduro, double the Cameroon, double the ligero were unique and big ideas.

Welcome to 2022. CAO BX3 takes this same approach and is introducing Brazilian times three. Not just double but triple the incredible tobaccos from Brazil’s primary growing region. We continue CAO’s spirit of innovation with BX3. This is something you simply can’t resist.     A flavorful Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper is dark and oily. The heady Brazilian Arapiraca binder holds together a wild blend of Brazilian Matafina, Nicaraguan, Honduran, and Mexican tobaccos.

The flavor is incredible. Not overly strong but deep. These intense tobaccos are known for flavor over strength and add complexity to the cigar experience that could be, dare we say, revolutionary.
