CAO Amazon Basin Dagger
The CAO Amazon Basin Dagger is a limited-edition premium cigar that brings the legendary Amazon Basin blend to a compact, short-format vitola. Handcrafted in Nicaragua by STG Estelí, the Dagger features the same rare and highly sought-after tobaccos that made the original Amazon Basin one of CAO's most celebrated annual releases. Designed for cigar enthusiasts seeking a rich, complex smoking experience in less time, the Dagger delivers bold flavor while preserving the distinctive character of the Amazon Basin blend.
At the heart of this cigar is the rare Bragança tobacco, grown exclusively in the remote Amazon rainforest of Brazil. Harvested only once every three years using traditional farming methods, this unique leaf contributes remarkable depth, natural sweetness, and earthy complexity. Each cigar is finished with the signature tobacco vine band, a hallmark of the Amazon Basin collection.
