Review Notes: I am not a CAO fan, this is one of the only CAO i cared enough about to review. Beautiful dark, almost black, oily wrapper. Great construction and nice medium draw. Burned great and produced lots of smoke. Sweet chocolate and hardy leather flavors make this a very above average CAO product.

Review Notes: mild for being a maduro. excellent flavor. hint of coffee.

Review Notes: I agree with many of the comments on how it is not as strong as it looks. It has a wonderful flavor with hints of expresso, dark chocolate and a tad sweet. I love this cigar. The only cigar I have enjoyed more recently is the CAO MX3 which a local cigar store Draper in Washington DC has. I understand this is not a regular production smoke. However, the Mx3 in the robusto size is $11 whereas the robusto in the Mx2 is $5. Hard to say it was that much better based on a QPR comparison.

Review Notes: This one was a little too "dark" and powerful for me, but as a newbie I'm glad I tried it and it's all part of finding out what I like in a cigar. This was really nice even though it's not my cup of tea.....it was really rich and espresso like with black peppercorn notes.

Review Notes: The appearance of this cigar was top notch. The dark, oily wrapper was perfect and the band was nice looking. The prelit aromas were hay and cedar. The draw on this cigar was loose. The flavors started nutty, but progressed to chocolate and was quite smooth throughout. The ash was white and firm. I had some burn issues though. It was hard to keep lit longer then 10 minutes. That was the only drawback though.
