August 2025 Estelí, Nicaragua: Prepare your palate for something truly unexpected. CAO Cigars has officially announced the release of Stokk, the latest and most experimental entry in its Arcana Series. Developed in collaboration with legendary Danish pipe tobacco house Peter Stokkebye, Stokk is a cigar unlike anything CAO has released before, delivering a two-stage smoking experience that evolves halfway through.
At its core, Stokk is a bold fusion of premium cigar tobacco and specialty pipe tobacco techniques. What begins as a rich, earthy smoke soon transforms into a smoky, aromatic finish offering two distinct personalities in a single cigar.
“CAO is all about pushing the boundaries in tobacco exploration,” said Cory Beardsley, Brand Manager for CAO. “Working with Peter Stokkebye tobacco gave us the chance to blend a cigar that’s truly unique, not for the sake of novelty, but to show the unlimited possibilities when two traditions collide.”
A Tale of Two Halves
Stokk is handcrafted at STG Estelí in Nicaragua and features a daring blend that evolves mid-smoke:
* Wrapper: U.S. Broadleaf
* Binder: Nicaraguan
* Filler:
* Dominican Andullo (fermented pipe-style tobacco)
* Honduran tobacco
* Cyprian Latakia (a fire-cured, smoky pipe tobacco that activates in the second half)
The first half delivers a bold and earthy profile with depth from the Andullo aged Dominican leaf. As you approach the midway point, the Latakia takes the lead, introducing a rich, smoky layer of complexity that pipe tobacco fans will immediately recognize and cigar lovers will find refreshingly different.
Crafted with Scandinavian Soul
In homage to Peter Stokkebye’s Danish heritage, CAO Stokk is presented in a minimalist, Nordic-inspired box, featuring a clean wood grain finish and rune-like lettering. The presentation speaks to both brands’ shared values: craftsmanship, heritage, and the courage to innovate.
