CAO FASA Sol Toro (6″ x 50)

CAO FASA was created to show how much of a difference a wrapper leaf change affects the cigar’s flavor. CAO FASA Sol and CAO FASA Noche could not be more alike, yet they could not be more different. It’s like night and day. Both blends feature a Cameroon binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic, as well as three growing regions in Nicaragua (Jalapa, Estelí and Condega). Sol is rolled at the HATSA factory in Honduras with a Honduran Olancho San Agustin wrapper, while Noche is made at STG Estelí in Nicaragua and is draped in Connecticut broadleaf. According to CAO, one cigar is more full-bodied than the other, but to ascertain which one is stronger, you’re going to have to smoke them yourself.
