CAO Consigliere Boss

The Boss is the big torpedo in CAO's Consigliere line — a 7 x 56 with a tapered head and that dark, toothy Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper. It's the size to reach for when you want the blend's flavor to stretch out over a long, leisurely smoke. Inside it's a Honduran binder with Colombian, Dominican and Nicaraguan filler.

What it tastes like

Cocoa and earth lead, with leather, coffee and a touch of cedar developing as you go. The torpedo head focuses the smoke and gives a slightly more concentrated draw, while the long format lets the medium-bodied profile evolve gradually. It's flavorful and dark-tasting without piling on strength, which makes it a relaxing choice.

This is a good cigar for an unhurried evening when you want something with character but not a heavy hit. New to figured shapes like the torpedo? The how to cut a cigar guide covers how to open that tapered head cleanly.

Consigliere remains one of CAO's steady, well-priced blends, and the Boss is its showpiece size. Save it to your humidor and rate it in the Casa DNC app, or grab the shorter Associate robusto when time is tighter.
