CAO Flathead Kicks Into Higher Gear With Resonator
For the gear heads and cigar nuts who love the roar of an engine almost as much as puffing on a V770 Big Block—but it is the longest. Resonator is expected to come cruising to retailers this week on the first of February.
CAO Flatheads are box-pressed cigars topped with notably flat heads to resemble the engine blocks of classic hot rods. Each size is named after a car part. The resonator, for example, is part of a car’s exhaust system and its function is to help reduce engine noise.
Looking under the hood, CAO Flathead consists of a Connecticut Habano binder and a mix of Dominican and Nicaraguan filler. With a suggested retail price of $12.79 each (before taxes), the new, massive cigar “packs a powerful punch,” according to General.
The Resonator ships in a silver 24-count box that resembles an engine block and includes a metal plasma-cut lid that can double as garage art.
CAO Flathead is rolled in Nicaragua at the STG Estelí factory.
The Resonator brings the CAO Flathead line to six regular-production sizes.
