The CAO Flathead Resonator 860 is the largest vitola in the original Flathead line — 8 inches by 60 ring gauge, an imposing churchill-plus format named after the resonating chamber of a motorcycle carburetor. The extra length gives the Cameroon wrapper ample time to develop its characteristic cocoa and spice complexity across a long, leisurely smoke.
Cameroon wrapper over Honduran binder and filler in an 8x60 format. Box count: 24 cigars ($307.20/$12.80=24ct).
Medium to full strength — cocoa, black pepper, cedar, leather, and subtle sweetness from the Cameroon wrapper. More complexity than the shorter Flathead vitolas due to the extended burn time.
Alcoholic: A craft bourbon, a dark rum, or a craft stout. Non-Alcoholic: A dark coffee.
A long evening smoke. Allow 90+ minutes.
