CAO is the little, boutique, premium cigar brand that has defied all odds in the premium cigar industry. It started as a dream by the late Cano A. Ozgener, who incorporated his passion for fine cigars along with his passion for family to create the CAO brand. Together they grew CAO from a local favorite to one of the most widely recognized names in the cigar industry. When the family sold the brand to General Cigar in 2007, many had doubts that the brand could thrive under the corporate yoke. The brand was put in the capable hands of Rick Rodriguez, who had been the heir apparent to Partagas Master Blender Benji Menendez. Those first few years were rocky for CAO and Rodriguez, but he’s hit his stride and continues to churn out spectacular new blends for the brand.
A spin-off of the iconic Flathead line, CAO Steel Horse answers the call of bikers with a blend made for life on the open road. These medium-to-full bodied cigars with easy-smoking flavors of leather and spice are perfect for a slow ride or leisurely pit stop. Using a different blend than Flathead but still with the signature flathead top, CAO Steel Horse is a flawless complement to the Flathead franchise.
