To create the BX3 blend, CAO drew on their experience with Brazilian tobaccos, previously used in their award-winning blends, CAO Brazilia and Amazon Basin. These tobaccos are known for their deep, flavorful profiles, which are similar to those found in the region's world-famous coffees. The BX3 blend combines a dark and oily Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper with a smooth and slightly sweet Brazilian Arapiraca leaf to bind a mix of Nicaraguan, Honduran, and Mexican filler tobaccos, including another Brazilian Mata Fina leaf. The resulting flavor profile is intense yet balanced, highlighting the richness of the tobaccos. The goal of the BX3 was to create a bold Brazilian blend, and according to CAO, they delivered on that goal.
