CAO is planning a special limited edition small batch release in their La Traviata line. The La Travitata Angry Santa and Evil Snowman will be released in time for the holiday season and each will feature a Christmas character themed release.
The Angry Santa will be a modified blend of the CAO La Traviata Natural while the Evil Snowman will be a modified blend of the CAO La Traviata Maduro. Both cigars will feature special banding featuring a contemporary Santa Claus and Snowman character respectively.
The cigars will be packaged in boxes of 14 with a total of 1500 boxes produced. The cigars will only be allocated to brick and mortar stores. A single vitola 6 1/2 x 52 vitola will be produced for both the Angry Santa and Evil Snowman blends.
CAO released the original La Traviata Natural blend in 2009. The cigar finished as our #2 Cigar for 2009. In 2010, CAO followed up with a maduro wrapper version of the La Traviata – which finished as our #6 Cigar for 2010.

I'm pretty excited about these. I've only found one retailer that has them and I wish they were split 7 of each to try the tweeking of the blends…… But I think I'm gonna go with Santa
