CAO OSA Sol Lot 50

     The CAO cigar brand has gone thru a major change recently when in 2007 the company was purchased by the Scandinavian Tobacco Group from the Ozgener family that had owned and operated the company from it's founding as a pipe manufacturer.  

     The OSA Sol is their first release after the purchase.  It is made with an Olancho San Augustin wrapper, hence the OSA name, that comes exclusively from a 2008 harvest.  As a fan of a few CAO brands, when I saw this cigar in the humidor at Habana Port Cigar Merchants I had to give it a try.

      I was not disappointed.  The OSA Sol was a well made well balanced smoke, full of interesting flavors.  I am going to pick up a few more in the very near future.
