Nashville, June 11, 2004: CAO, one of the worlds foremost premium cigar manufacturers, will debut the latest addition to their highly regarded CAO Brazilia line at next month's 72nd Annual RTDA Show in Las Vegas.

The new size, coined 'Anaconda', is an 8" x 58 Diadema that is a uniquely creative shape with a well-earned reputation of being one of the most difficult cigars to roll. With a select team of CAO Fabrica de Tabacos master level rollers, a limited production of 70,000 CAO Brazilia Anacondas will be produced. "Over the last three years, our Brazilia line has proven to be one of our true rock-star cigars," said CAO Vice President, Tim Ozgener. "The intent with Anaconda was to create something truly unique and rare for our CAO Brazilia fans to enjoy as a specialty cigar. Due to the level of difficulty in rolling this cigar, production and availability will be limited, however, I can assure you that the 'hunt' for the CAO Brazilia Anaconda will be well worth the effort."

The CAO Brazilia cigar line was introduced in 2001 and quickly garnered a strong following due to its robust and uniquely spicy flavor profile. The CAO Brazilia line has been rated '91' ("OUTSTANDING") according to Cigar Aficionado magazine, widely heralded as the ultimate authority on the subject of premium cigars.
