CAO is expanding its Arcana series with the release of Stokk, a limited-edition cigar developed in partnership with Danish pipe tobacco brand Peter Stokkebye. The project blends traditional cigar craftsmanship with pipe tobacco techniques, resulting in a cigar designed to change flavor midway through the smoking experience.
Produced at STG Estelí in Nicaragua, CAO Stokk begins with Dominican Andullo tobacco, offering an earthy, rich opening profile. Midway through the smoke, Cyprian Latakia—a fire-cured tobacco commonly used in pipe blends—takes over, delivering a pronounced smoky note.
The blend consists of a U.S. Broadleaf wrapper, a Nicaraguan binder, and a filler mix of Dominican Andullo, Cyprian Latakia, and Honduran tobaccos.
“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.”
Packaging for CAO Stokk draws inspiration from Scandinavian design, with a minimalist wooden box and Nordic-style typography as a nod to Stokkebye’s Danish heritage.
The cigar is released in a single 6.5 x 52 Belicoso format, with a suggested retail price of $12.99 per cigar. Each box contains 20 cigars.
