Brand Profile

The CAO L'Anniversaire Cameroon  line has been rated a '92 or higher by Cigar Aficionado Magazine, since they were first released in 1999. Very few non-Cuban cigars have achieved this recognition. Only the finest vintage Cameroon wrappers are used in the production of CAO Cameroon cigars, delivering a medium to full bodied, and full flavored smoke. The Nicaraguan binder and filler give these cigars a sweet, spicy flavor of coffee, caramel and cedar.  One of the original Nicaraguan box-pressed cigar lines, CAO Cameroon cigars are expertly rolled for a balanced draw and perfect burn from start to finish.

CAO International, Inc. is the producer of one of the country's top lines of premium cigars, Meerschaum pipes and pipe tobaccos. Founded by Cano A. Ozgener in Nashville as a labor of love 39 years ago, today CAO cigar products can be found on every continent in the world (with the exception of Antarctica!). CAO cigars produces eight cigar lines that have all been rated 90 (OUTSTANDING) or above by Cigar Aficionado and Cigar Insider.
