Last year there was the CAO Estelí and then CAO Nicaragua, now there’s a CAO Hommage to Nicaragua.

Select markets outside the U.S. will be getting the CAO Hommage to Nicaragua, a 6 x 58 limited edition release. The cigar uses an Ecuadorian habano wrapper over a Connecticut broadleaf binder and fillers from Honduras as well as three regions of Nicaragua: Condega, Estelí and Jalapa.

Pricing will be €12.50 ($13.80) per cigar in the cheapest market, likely Spain. It will also be available in Belgium, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and select Asian countries.
