![]() The green anaconda is the world's heaviest and one of the world's longest snakes, reaching a length of up to 5.21 m (17 ft 1 in) long. The green anaconda's specific name is derived from the Latin murinus, meaning 'of mice', for being thought to prey on mice.ĭescription New England Aquarium Etymology įurther information on etymology of generic name: Eunectes § Etymology Fossils of the snake date back to the Late Pleistocene in the Gruta do Urso locality. The term " anaconda" often refers to this species, though the term could also apply to other members of the genus Eunectes. Like all boas, it is a non-venomous constrictor. It is the largest, heaviest and the second longest (after the reticulated python) snake in the world. While these are now hard to find, I’d recommend trying one first before deciding to purchase.The green anaconda ( Eunectes murinus), also known as the giant anaconda, emerald anaconda, common anaconda, or common water boa, is a boa species found in South America and the Caribbean island of Trinidad. The cigar started out promising with a unique brown sugar note, but progressed into a cigar that was more on the unbalanced side. The CAO Amazon Anaconda was the most disappointing in the Amazon Trilogy Series when I first smoked it back in 2017, and while I had high hopes this cigar would have improved with time, this was not the case. Both the strength and body balanced each other nicely – with neither attribute overpowering the other. In terms of strength and body, the CAO Anaconda delivered a smoke medium to full in strength and body. There is no benefit to smoking through the stem because it imparted more bitterness. For this series of assessments, I was able to easily remove the stem. ![]() In the past on every Amazon Trilogy cigar I’ve smoked, the stem was difficult to remove. The combination of a more bitter natural tobacco and earth dominated the second half with the cedar, tangy citrus and black pepper not able to make a balanced profile. Some black pepper also emerged in the background. When the brown sugar dissipated, the natural tobacco notes became more bitter. By the second third, there was an increase in cedar notes as well with a decrease in the brown sugar sweetness. As the cigar progressed the earth notes increased in intensity. Early on the natural tobacco and brown sugar moved to the forefront and developed a fusion between them. The CAO Amazon Anaconda opened up with notes of dusty earth, cedar, tangy citrus, natural tobacco, and brown sugar. Like all of the cigars in the Amazon series, the CAO Amazon Anaconda uses a cigar stem twisted around the cigar in place of a cigar band. The cigar comes in one size – a 6 x 52 Toro. The Bahiano Habano wrapper is combined with a Nicaraguan binder, along with the Braganca, Fuma Em Corda, Nicaraguan and Colombian fillers to make up the Anaconda blend. What is different compared to the other installments of the Amazon Trilogy is that the Amazon Anaconda uses the Bahiano tobacco for the wrapper – making it the only installment of the Amazon Trilogy to have a Brazilian wrapper. As the name indicates, the Bahiano Habano comes from the Bahia region of Brazil. This blend also adds a third rare low yield Brazilian tobacco known as Bahiano Habano. This is because the Fuma Em Corda uses an unorthodox technique of fermenting Brazilian Arapiraca tobacco in ropes.ĬAO Amazon Trilogy (Clockwise from bottom: CAO Amazon Basin, CAO Fuma Em Corda Robusto, CAO Amazon Anaconda)įor the CAO Amazon Anaconda, it uses both the Braganca and Fuma en Corda tobaccos as a part of the filler. The name Fuma Em Corda is Portuguese for “tobacco on a rope”. With the second installment, the Fuma Em Corda, it not only uses the the Braganca tobacco, but used a tobacco dubbed as Fuma Em Corda. The original CAO Amazon Basin used a rare tobacco called Braganca. The first three cigars of the CAO Amazon Trilogy are unique in that each blend builds on the rare tobaccos used in the previous blend. This is a cigar that has been aging in the Cigar Coop humidor for about 2 1/2 years. Today, we take a closer look at the CAO Amazon Anaconda. A fourth installment designated as a “prequel” called CAO Orellana was just released this past fall. In 2016, CAO Amazon Basin would be re-released, and the following year two additional limited-edition releases CAO Fuma En Corda and CAO Amazon Acaconda were introduced. The CAO Amazon Basin proved to be a huge success, but was limited because of the scarcity of the Brazilian tobaccos used. The origins of the CAO Amazon Trilogy Series date back to 2014 with the release of the CAO Amazon Basin Cigar. This is a series of limited edition cigars cigars that are highlighted by the incorporation of rare Brazilian tobaccos in the blend. The CAO Amazon Anaconda is the third installment of CAO’s Amazon Trilogy Series. Filler: Brazilian Braganca, Brazilian Fuma Em Corda, Colombian, Dominican
