Description

The CAO Bones Chicken Foot Robusto is a striking Nicaraguan handmade cigar, measuring 5 inches in length with a potent 54 ring gauge, drawing inspiration from lively dominoes games symbolised by its distinctive “chicken foot” triple-cap design. This medium-full-bodied marvel features a rugged, dark Connecticut Broadleaf maduro wrapper that imparts oily richness, paired with a Connecticut Shade binder and a robust filler blend of aged Nicaraguan, Honduran, and Dominican long-fillers for impeccable draw and construction. Igniting reveals an intoxicating cold draw of espresso, dark fruit, and spice. The opening act surges with bold black pepper and charred cedar, swiftly mellowing into waves of bittersweet cocoa, roasted chestnuts, and earthy leather underpinned by a creamy vanilla smoothness. Mid-smoke, complexity blooms: tangy plum, molasses sweetness, toasted almonds, and hints of clove weave through a robust coffee backbone, with subtle mineral notes adding intrigue. The finale intensifies gracefully—nutmeg, dark chocolate, and balsamic earth linger on a refined retrohale, strength building to a satisfying nicotine kick without harshness. Ideal for a spirited 50-60 minute session, this CAO gem captivates with balanced power and nuance, perfect for social gatherings or solo reflection.
