Arcana Thunder Smoke

CAO unveiled the Thunder Smoke in 2024, marking the third blend in the brand's Arcana line, which focuses on unique tobaccos and/or processes around the globe. The Thunder Smoke takes its name from Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, which the local Sotho people call “Mosi-Oa-Tunya,” or “The Smoke That Thunders.” This leads into the cigar's recipe, being the first in CAO’s history to feature tobacco from South Africa and Zimbabwe. Overall, Thunder Smoke boasts a five-country blend that highlights the unique qualities of African-grown leaf. The blend is rounded out with a Honduran Olancho San Augustin (OSA) wrapper and a binder from Mexico’s San Andrés Valley, resulting in a globally influenced experience.
