Shift into a smoother gear.

A follow up to the 95‑rated, top‑selling Flathead, CAO is opening a new lane with a blend made for those who appreciate craftsmanship, even without the wrench skills. Meet CAO Flathead Speed Shop.

Wrapped in an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper leaf, Speed Shop favors refinement over raw horsepower. Where the original Flathead thunders, this one delivers a smooth, confident hum. Its Nicaraguan and Dominican long‑fillers, anchored by a Mexican San Andrés binder, create a balanced, medium‑bodied profile with notes of white pepper, earth, and leather.

The flag has dropped on CAO Flathead Speed Shop. Don’t be the one left idling while everyone else drives off with a box.

AJ's personal, everyday blend.

One of the most unique blends we carry, Puro Authenticos are full-bodied, premium sticks made by AJ Fernandez's very best torcedores. These are AJ's personal, everyday cigars. And now they're available in Maduro.

The story behind Man O' War Puro Authentico is rather unique. We've visited AJ's factory many times and every time we've seen AJ smoking a corona-sized Habano-wrapped cigar with a shaggy foot. He's never told us the blend or what it was for. After constant questioning (he made the mistake of letting us try a few), he finally broke down and admitted he has his own special cigar made in a 5.0 "x 42 corona as his everyday personal smoke. Eventually, we convinced him to let us offer these to the CIGAR.com faithful and thus, Man O' War Puro Authentico was born.

These spicy firecrackers are the same cigars AJ enjoys on a day-to-day basis, and come unfinished with a shaggy foot. They contain a special blend of rich Nicaraguan long leaves that's topped with either an Esteli Habano or dark Maduro wrapper. Fresh, full-tilt, and full-bodied, Puro Authentico are truly special. Pick up a few today, and experience the same exact cigar AJ created as his everyday "go-to" blend.

*Man O’ War Puro Authentico has received a packaging refresh. You may receive the same beloved blend in the new black cartons.
