General Cigar Co.’s growing list of regional editions has its newest entry, the CAO Right Coast. Following the release of the 6 3/4 x 72 trapezoid-shaped CAO Left Coast, CAO is scheduled to begin shipping an East Coast counterpart to retailers in 10-12 Southeastern states in the coming weeks.

The cigar is the same size with a slightly tweaked blend and a reversed color scheme. For reference, the Left Coast used a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, Honduran binder and filler from Columbia and Honduras.

CAO is the second of two brands General Cigar used for regional releases last year, the other being La Gloria Cubana which saw the Gorda Gorda, Piramide Supra and Sanson.
