The Uniqueness of the Cao Cigar Company
By M. A. Fulmar

If you were to conduct a word association survey regarding the word cigar; you would get a variety of answers. Some of those word association answers might include Cuban, celebration, stogie, etc. Although, these word associations may have been true in days gone by, nothing could be further from the truth today. Enjoying a quality cigar has recently become a popular indulgence that is enjoyed by both men and women alike. Also, lighting up a cigar happens more than just when celebrating a special occasion and great cigars can be found outside the country of Cuba. One cigar company that has helped to raise the level of awareness and has helped to maintain the popularity of cigar smoking is the Cao Cigar Company.

History

The Cao Cigar Company is headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee. The company was founded by an Armenian Turk by the name of Cano Ozgener. Mr. Ozgener had a great passion for a good cigar and smoking a pipe. His passion for pipe smoking coupled with his desire to be creative with his hands led to a natural entrepreneurial enterprise in crafting artistic smoking pipes. Based on the popularity of his creations amongst his friends, Ozgener went into the smoking pipe business in 1968. The company derives its name, CAO, from the initials of its founder, Cano A. Ozgener.

Eventually, the Cao Cigar Company decided to take a different business road in meeting the smoking needs of their customers. In 1968, they made a decision to abandon their humidor market, reduce their manufacturing of smoking pipes and begin to offer cigars.
Their first cigar brand was called Casa de Manuel. Business did not fare well and leadership decided to retreat to the safety of manufacturing pipes and humidors. Eventually, when cigar smoking hit its stride in sales, the Cao Cigar Company ventured back into the cigar market and became successful with their introduction of their version of the maduro.

The Cao Cigar Company manufactures and distributes several distinctive lines of cigars. The particular brands of cigars manufactured by the Cao Cigar Company include the Gold, Double Maduro, Creole, Brasilia, and three separate versions of the L'Anniversaire. Those brands include the Maduro, eXtreme and Cameroon. Also, through expansion, other companies have been added the Cao cigar business family.

Two Cigar Lines

Two specific Cao Cigar lines are the Brazilia and the CAO Gold. Each of these cigars is distinctive in their own right and offers a unique smoking experience for the cigar lover. The CAO Brazilia is a blend of tobacco leafs that utilizes a deep Brazilian wrapper that enfolds an excellent tobacco from the country of Nicaragua. The opportunity of smoking this Cao Cigar can be best described by using the language of sweetness coupled with a wonderful blend of spiciness. This robust flavor provides a wonderful cigar smoking experience. Another line of Cao Cigar is the CAO Gold. This special cigar uses a wrapper grown in Ecuador and, in addition to a fine smoking encounter, provides visual appeal to the eyes through a finely crafted cigar. Indulging in this rich pleasure will provide a taste that is even, smooth and provides a hint of a nutty-like flavor.
