Grown exclusively for CAO Novella Cigars, the Italian Habano seed used for CAO Novella Cigars was originally brought to Italy from Cuba some 40+ years ago. The Habano seed is grown in the Benevento region of the southern portion of Italy, located between Rome and Naples. This CAO Novella Cigars tobacco lends an incredibly unique, earthy sweetness to the robust, full-bodied flavor profile of CAO Italia.
