CAO FASA Sol – Medium-Bodied Honduran Cigar | CigarHaus

The CAO FASA Sol is a flavourful, medium-bodied cigar built around a distinctive Honduran Olancho San Agustín (OSA) Sol wrapper. CAO designed FASA Sol to showcase the character of Honduran tobacco, pairing its earthy, naturally spicy wrapper with a Cameroon binder and a diverse blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos. 

Smooth enough for daytime enjoyment yet complex enough for an experienced smoker, FASA Sol delivers prominent notes of Ceylon cinnamon, toasted tobacco and almonds, supported by earthiness and subtle spice. CAO officially classifies the cigar as medium-bodied. 

Flavour Profile

• Ceylon cinnamon
• Toasted tobacco
• Roasted almonds
• Earth
• Gentle pepper and spice
• Woody undertones
• Subtle natural sweetness
• Warm, balanced finish

Why It Stands Out

The FASA Sol is particularly interesting because CAO uses the FASA collection to demonstrate how dramatically a wrapper can influence a cigar. FASA Sol and FASA Noche were originally created with the same internal binder and filler blend but different wrappers, producing noticeably different smoking experiences. 

Sol’s sun-grown Honduran OSA wrapper emphasizes earth, cinnamon and spice, creating a cigar that’s flavourful and complex without moving into an overly heavy profile.

FASA Sol is particularly well suited to smokers who enjoy medium-bodied cigars, Honduran tobacco, balanced spice, afternoon smoking, golf outings, or cigars with enough complexity to remain interesting without becoming overpowering.

Pairing Suggestions

CAO specifically recommends Kentucky bourbon, Nicaraguan rum and café cortado with FASA Sol.  I’d also consider an Old Fashioned or medium-dark roast coffee—the cinnamon, toasted almond and earthy character should work especially well with those profiles.
