C.A.O. Releasing Concept Cigar to Public

C.A.O. International Inc. has created a new version of its popular C.A.O. Gold brand. The C.A.O. Gold Maduro, which goes on the market this month, combines the filler blend and binder of the C.A.O. Gold with a maduro wrapper grown in Brazil.

The Gold Maduro is a C.A.O. concept cigar, plucked from the display known as an escaparate at company headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee.
