Cigar News: CAO Drives Full Speed Into Holiday Season with Flathead Sampler

CAO is kicking the holidays into high gear with the release of the Flathead Sampler Box, a limited-edition collection featuring all six Flathead sizes, including the new Flathead Resonator (8 X 60).

Built for those who want the full CAO Flathead experience, this collector’s set brings together the brand’s most celebrated vitolas, from the 95-rated V660 Carb to the all-new Resonator.

Crafted in Nicaragua, every cigar in the set has a blend described as:

  • Wrapper – Connecticut Broadleaf
  • Binder – Connecticut Habano
  • Filler – Dominican Republic and Nicaragua.

Packaged in a custom-designed holiday box, the sampler makes an ideal gift for Flathead fans and collectors alike.

The CAO Flathead Sampler Box includes:

  • 1x Resonator (8 X 60)
  • 1x Big Block (7 X 70)
  • 1x Piston (6.5 X 42)
  • 1x Carb (6 X 60)
  • 1x Camshaft (5.5 X 54)
  • 1x Sparkplug (4.5 X 50)

Cory Beardsley, Brand Manager for CAO noted:

“Flathead is most popular in the larger 6×60 and 7×70 sizes, but many people forget about the other great sizes in the Flathead lineup. This Flathead sampler allows the CAO super-fan to compare the same high-octane blend in all six available sizes.”

The CAO Flathead Sampler Box began shipping to retailers nationwide in October 2025. Quantities are limited. MSRP for the Flathead Sampler Box is $69.99.
