General Adding 8 x 60 CAO Flathead Resonator
Next Thursday, Feb. 1, General Cigar Co. will begin shipping the largest regular production size of its CAO Flathead line.
The CAO Flathead Resonator is an 8 x 60 box-pressed parejo. It uses a Connecticut broadleaf wrapper over a habano-seed binder, also grown in Connecticut, and fillers from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. The MSRP is set at $12.79 per cigar and the Resonator is sold in boxes of 24.
Those boxes feature a lid that has cut-outs that were produced via a plasma cutter. General says that the lid doubles as garage art.
Like most CAO cigars, the Resonator is produced at STG Estelí in Nicaragua.
The CAO Flathead debuted in 2015. The various vitolas’ names have been automative-themed. The resonator is a part of an exhaust system that controls the sound of the exhaust. The lgoos on the box are placed inside of a graphic of an exhaust system, showing a resonator.
