CAO • Arcana Thunder Smoke • Toro

Thunder Smoke is named after Victoria Falls, a waterfall in Zimbabwe, close to where some of the filler was grown. Known locally as “Mosi-Oa-Tunya,” it translates to “The smoke that thunders” in Lozi (a Bantu language), and is one of the largest waterfalls in the world. The other African fillers come from South Africa and Cameroon. While the latter is not unusual in the cigar world, it is more commonly used as a wrapper or binder rather than filler. 

The rest of the five-country blend includes a Honduran Olancho San Augustin wrapper and a Mexican San Andrés binder. According to the company, CAO Arcana Thunder Smoke is medium-bodied.

Made in the Dominican Republic at the General Cigar Dominicana factory
