CAO Amazon Basin Extra Añejo Returns for 2026 with Mellowed Flavors
The CAO Amazon Basin Extra Añejo is set to return for 2026, following its successful sophomore release. The aged version of the popular cigar blend has been resting in aging rooms since its roll-out in 2024.
This is only the second release for the Extra Añejo, with the original release hitting stores in early 2023. Pricing for the new batch has increased slightly to $15.89 per cigar, up from $14.99.
Cory Beardsley, brand manager for CAO, notes that the unique profile of Bragança tobacco from the Amazon rainforest is a key factor in the blend's success. He states, 'With Extra Añejo, we gave that blend an extra year to rest and fully mature.'
