Review Notes: My first experiance with the Mx2 was very enjoyable. I did find it a little harder to draw than the other CAO's I've tried.

Review Notes: I wondered what a cigar with a Maduro wrapper and Maduro filler would be like... and now I know. Really good. Has a sweet flavor and a tad bit mild for my taste. No bitterness but a slight aftertaste. Burned very well all the way through. Excellent construction and just a beautiful, almost black wrapper.

Review Notes: This one had been in my humidor for around two years. While it was probably slightly past its prime, it was still quite enjoyable. It was well constructed and had flavors of chocolate and licorice. All in all, pretty good. I don't think I'll age any more of these quite as long though.

Review Notes: I am a CAO fan; I hope my love of the company in general doesn't prejucide my review in any way. To begin, this cigar is really beautiful. The beautiful slight sheen od the maduro wrapper is something nice to behold. When you add the great-looking black and silver band, ths cigar is among on of the best-looking cigars made, in my opinion. The cigar I pulled didn't have any big veins in the wrappers, so this one gets an A+ from me in the appearance department. Pre-light, the cigar drew very well, and I got a nice chololate and spice taste. The wrappers gave off the characteristic sweet foundation I notice from maduro wrappers. The sweetness was not overpowering or particularly pronounced, the taste was there. As I lit the cigar, I got a delicious dark-chocolate taste, a bit of cream, and a nice spice. Like a great mole sauce without the peanut flavor. This flavor was dominant through the first half of the cigar. As I hit the mid-point, the cream moved on, mostly, as did the initial chocolate flavor. I priarily got a deep espresso and medium spice througout the rest of the smoke. I was hoping for a bit of licorice, but that never happened. I thought the cigar was medium to full bodied in flavor. The cigar burned a bit uneven, but that could be my lighting. I accumulated about 2 1/4" of ash prior to the eventual drop. The smoke volume was very good, what you would expect from a good cigar of this ring-gauge. All-in-all, a great smoke. I would have liked a bit more diversity of flavor, but the flavors that were present were great and pronounced. A year or two in the humi might yeild something more complex. a delicious smoke, and probably the first of many to come of this cigar.

Review Notes: Very dark, pretty looking wrapper. Mild-Meduim gar it went very well with a Guiness extra stout and a hot tub with my wife. Burned like a champ, slow and even. My wife loved the smell. Chocolately taste with some spice at the back end. Smoked to the nub.....try it in the morning with coffee or in the early afternoon with a tastey beer.
