Thunder Smoke
Thunder Smoke is the first premium CAO cigar to feature South African tobacco. The third in the Arcana series, we went into the heart of Africa to give you a first-of-its-kind smoking experience filled with uncharted flavors.
Story
For the third release in the Arcana series, we went to the cradle of civilization to source a cigar that is the first of its kind for CAO. Thunder Smoke is blended with tobacco grown in the shadow of Africa’s Victoria Falls, the local Sotho name that translates to “The Smoke That Thunders.”
In this region, we uncovered tobaccos from Zimbabwe, Cameroon, and South Africa that offer a thrilling and exotic cigar experience, the likes of which have never been smoked by CAO fans.
