About this cigar
CAO Bones draws its name and inspiration from dominoes and dice commonly played in cigar shops and lounges. Blended by Rick Rodriguez and handmade at the STG Esteli factory in Nicaragua, Blind Hughie combines a Connecticut Broadleaf maduro wrapper, Connecticut Shade binder, and four-country filler blend for a complex, balanced medium-full smoke.

Aging & storage · Guidance
How to keep it
General humidor guidance for this cigar, based on its wrapper, strength, ring gauge and packaging.
Storage
Hold the box at 65–70% relative humidity at 65–70°F (18–21°C). Steady humidity matters far more than the exact number — swings are what crack wrappers.
Rest after delivery
Thicker ring gauges hold shipping moisture longest — give these boxes three to four weeks in the humidor before the first one.
Aging window
Full-bodied blends reward patience: a year or two of quiet aging typically trades raw power for depth.
In the box
Age them in their own box where possible — the cedar keeps the cigars marrying together instead of taking on the flavour of everything else in the humidor.
