Though we’ve sourced tobacco from the Dominican Republic for years, CAO Mortal Coil marks our first experience with andullo—a rare, centuries-old technique where cured tobacco is tightly fermented in palm pods called “yaguas.” This unique process produces a dark, leathery tobacco with a bold yet sweet flavour. We’ve blended this rich leaf with Honduran and Nicaraguan fillers, wrapped it in a hearty USA Broadleaf, and finished it with an American Shade binder to create a medium-bodied cigar that delivers notes of earth, cocoa, dark cherry, and nuts. Perfectly paired with port, cognac, or espresso.
