L’Anniversaire Cameroon

By CAO

CAO was founded in 1968 by Cano Ozgener as a meerschaum pipe company in Nashville. When the brand expanded into premium cigars in the mid-1990s, it was the L'Anniversaire line, released in 1998 to mark the company's 30th anniversary, that put CAO on the cigar map. The Cameroon and Maduro versions debuted together and together they established the brand's reputation for quality handmade construction. The Cameroon is a box pressed Nicaraguan puro from binder to filler, finished in a reddish-brown West African Cameroon wrapper. Rated 92 by Cigar Aficionado. Mild to medium in body. Made in Nicaragua.
