Earlier today, we published a redux review titled CAO Amazon Basin (2024).

Unfortunately, the cigar that Brooks smoked for this redux review was the CAO Orellana and not the most recent release of the Amazon Basin. Furthermore, I—the person who edited the review—didn’t catch the mix-up.

I know that the Amazon Basin has many fans and some of them were probably curious to read halfwheel‘s thoughts on the most recent release. We will be doing a redux review of the Amazon Basin in the future, but for now, the review from earlier today must be removed. My apologies for any confusion, especially to General Cigar Co., which probably would prefer the 91-point redux rating remain published.
