CAO Nicaragua Tipitapa
The CAO Nicaragua Tipitapa is a compact, handcrafted cigar that impresses with its high-quality workmanship and complex interplay of flavours. It combines the art of Nicaraguan tobacco production with an expressive taste experience and is aimed at lovers of medium to full-bodied cigars.
Format and workmanship
In the handy Robusto format, the CAO Nicaragua Tipitapa measures 12.4 cm in length and has a ring gauge of 50. Carefully crafted in Honduras, this cigar combines a Honduran cape and binder with a filler made from select Nicaraguan tobaccos, including leaves from the renowned Condega, Estelí and Jalapa regions. This combination ensures a perfect balance between strength, complexity and sophistication.
Flavour profile
The Tipitapa impresses with an intense and multi-faceted spectrum of aromas. The smoke begins with strong notes of pepper, earth and roasted nuts, accompanied by a slight sweetness. As it develops, flavours of toast, cedarwood and nutmeg emerge, complemented by subtle nuances of dark chocolate and raisins. The retrohale offers peppery accents, which are occasionally replaced by fruity notes such as blackberry or plum. This sophisticated combination makes the taste experience particularly versatile.
Smoking experience
With a smoking time of about 45 to 60 minutes, the CAO Nicaragua Tipitapa offers a long-lasting and enjoyable smoking experience. The burn is slightly wavy but remains stable, while the draw is optimal. The dense smoke development underlines the full-bodied character of the cigar and ensures an all-round pleasant smoking experience.
Recommendation
The CAO Nicaragua Tipitapa is ideal for experienced aficionados who appreciate strong flavours with a harmonious sweetness. It goes perfectly with a mature rum or a strong espresso and is the perfect choice for relaxed evenings or special moments of enjoyment.
