CAO Flathead

Speed Shop

Now, there’s a new performance package in town: the Speed Shop. This series swaps the traditional heavy-duty Broadleaf for a complex Ecuadorian Habano wrapper that injects a serious dose of spice and sweetness into the mix. According to the master mechanics at CAO, the Speed Shop is "tuned for balance, control, and consistency from start to finish." Think of it as the ultimate daily driver—refined enough for a morning cruise but with enough torque to dominate the afternoon. Just like a championship-winning race car, every component is a critical part of the engine: the Ecuadorian Habano Wrapper provides the high-end definition; the Mexican San Andrés Binder acts as the rock-solid chassis; and the Nicaraguan and Dominican Fillers serve as the high-octane fuel CAO fans crave. Choosing your performance package depends on how you want to handle the road. The V654 Crankshaft (6.50 x 54) is the precision-tuned option, offering a leaner vitola that allows the spicy Habano wrapper to take the lead for a balanced, punchy ride with incredible feedback. If you prefer a fan-favorite powerhouse, the V660 Carb (6 x 60) provides a cooler, high-volume draw with massive smoke output—the ultimate high-capacity "daily driver" for long-haul flavor. For those who demand maximum endurance, the V770 Big Block (7 x 70) is a heavy-duty titan, offering an elongated, smooth-burning experience that refuses to stall out despite its massive frame. To truly experience the "handling" of these blends, CAO suggests pairing them with top-shelf tequila, a freshly brewed coffee, or a juicy IPA straight from the tap. As notes of roasted cashew, earth, and sweet pepper linger on the palate, you’ll realize this is the tune-up your humidor has been waiting for.
