Re: CAO Mx2
Sounds like yours was "sick" or just a bad cigar - I've found these pretty pleasant.

Re: CAO Mx2
I've got a box of belicosos coming from the devil so you know that I really like these. I think I actually like Brazilia's a little more (as far as CAO goes) but these are my 2nd faves from them. These are the only two CAO's I like.

Re: CAO Mx2
I remember having one......haven't remembered wanting another. I've really only enjoyed the Brazilia from CAO.

Re: CAO Mx2
I always liked these. I have about a box and a half with some age on them. Only knock I have with these is the tight draw that is way too common in the Toro size anyways.

I agree that the draw is tight on the daggers. However, I do have 38 or so in my humi b/c I tried a fiver of these and like 'em so much I had to have more. I love the spice they pack and it's a great quick smoke when you don't have an hour to kill. I usually roll the cut end between my fingers and that seems to help the draw issue.

I was gifted a gordo a while back that's resting in my humi with it's little brothers. I can only imagine what I'm in for with that stick if I like the Daggers so much.

ive tried one of the daggers too and i didnt like it. the flavor was kinda odd to me. not experiences enough to give a better description but i will let it sit a bit then try again. it was a similar experience with the cao golds in the same size. first i tried was bad but after a little time they were pretty nice.

I agree, I'm on my 3rd box of Mx2's, I love the Robustos, and my fav. is the Gordo, what a great smoke. one of my go to sticks.

Re: CAO Mx2
To be perfectly honest, I've never had a bad Mx2. They've all treated me very well, great burns, great draws, and all-around great flavor. I'm surprised there weren't any redeeming qualities to your stogie, I'm a big C.A.O. fan, and they haven't done me wrong before. Try some of the other lines, it may just be that particular blend isn't your style (which, judging from your review, it blatantly cramps!).

Re: CAO Mx2
I had an Oliva that i absolutly loved today, but it seems a bit pricey to have a high stock of them

Re: CAO Mx2
The CAO MX2...definitely at the bottom of my list of likes...I have never had one that had a consistent nature about it, nor a pleasant flavor...the funny thing though...the Brazilia is not bad and neither is the L'Anniversaire Maduro...
If you really like the idea of a double maduro...Sancho Panza!!! Cheap and very delicious...
