About CAO Bella Vanilla Cigars
The Bella Vanilla blend
| Wrapper | Cameroon |
|---|---|
| Binder | Connecticut Broadleaf |
| Filler | Dominican |
| Body | "Mellow" (CAO) |
| Infused with | Extract of pure Madagascar vanilla beans (CAO) |
| CAO's tasting notes | Vanilla, rich |
| CAO's pairing | Stout or Cognac |
CAO lists the same Cameroon, Connecticut Broadleaf and Dominican blend for every CAO Flavours cigar we carry; the infusion is what sets Bella Vanilla apart from Cherrybomb, Moontrance, Gold Honey and Eileen's Dream.
The CAO behind it
Tim Ozgener told Cigar Aficionado his father, Cano Ozgener, started the business in 1968 "out of the basement of our home," from a love of meerschaum pipes. The first C.A.O. cigar came out in 1995, and ST Cigar Group bought the company in January 2007 (Cigar Aficionado). Cigar Aficionado reported in 2018 that CAO cigars "continue to be sold and manufactured by General Cigar," which is owned by Scandinavian Tobacco Group.

Choosing a format
- To carry: the Tubo, 4¾ x 30, sealed in its own tube for a jacket pocket or a golf bag.
- The fullest draw: the Petit Corona, whose 40 ring gauge gives more smoke per draw than the 30-ring sizes.
- The shortest smoke: the Cigarillos, 4 x 30, ten to a tin.
If you like Bella Vanilla
- Vanilla with peach: CAO Moontrance, which CAO says is infused with bourbon vanilla and ripe Georgia peaches.
- Vanilla in a full-size cigar: the Tatiana Vanilla Robusto, 5 x 50, or the M by Macanudo Vanilla Bourbon, on M by Macanudo.
- Vanilla cigarillos: Havana Honeys Vanilla, ten to a tin. Every vanilla cigar we carry is compared on vanilla cigars.
Cigar Aficionado doesn't score flavored cigars like these: in its "Cigar Truths" feature (November/December 2013) it says, "We do not rate flavored cigars or any type of machine-made cigar." Every flavored line we carry is on flavored and infused cigars, and every dessert flavor on sweet cigars.
What to pour with Bella Vanilla
CAO pairs Bella Vanilla with a stout or a cognac. From our bar, our house suggestion: an espresso, or an espresso cocktail from the cocktail menu such as the Cafe Luxe (espresso and Licor 43). In the lounge, ask the bar, or see the spirits menu.
Keeping them fresh
Infused aromas travel, so keep these in their own humidor or a sealed bag inside yours, away from your other cigars, at a steady 65 to 70 percent relative humidity. Every order ships with a Boveda humidity pack, and our cigar storage guide covers the rest.
