CAO AMAZON BASSIN.

The CAO Amazon Basin is grown in a region of the Amazon Rainforest. It uses a tobacco called Bragança that is only harvested once every three years. The blend uses four different tobaccos all from different countries. This year’s release is a re-release that originally came out in 2014. They are rolled with a unique process by hand into tubes called carrotes. They then go through six months of natural fermentation. After having smoked the original release it was definitely on the “Must Smoke” list to see if there was any differences in the taste of this blend.
