Open Box of Flathead Cigars

CAO will release its largest full-time Flathead cigar to date with an 8 x 60 monster smoke named after the hefty component of a car’s exhaust system.

Called “Resonator,” the cigar is handmade in Nicaragua at STG Esteli, with the same, top-rated blend that comprises the rest of the Flathead franchise.  

The box-pressed behemoth features a US-grown Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, Connecticut Habano binder and Dominican and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos and packs a powerful punch with notes of leather and molasses. 

The cigars are packed in 24-count boxes engineered with a plasma-cut metal lid that doubles as the ultimate in garage art.

CAO Flathead Resonator will ship to retailers on February 1 with an MSRP of $12.79.
