CAO CX2 Review

[gtsetgo]

Toro Size

I did a search and didn't see where anyone had done a review on this, but i could just be missing it.

Prelight was great and the cigar looked to have a good construction and lit rather nicely.

The burn was really nice and slow. It was a relaxing smoke that took about 1.5 hours to complete. It burned nice and even all throughout the smoke.

Taste was really nice with lots earthy flavors throughout. It came across a little woody and nutty to me.

Definately not the best cigar that i have ever smoked, but it was nice.

I would give it a 8/10 at best.

You are right, that is a tough one to search for.

I have a box of the toros in the bottom of the cooler sitting there since April of 2007. One of those deals where I remember buying them because I liked the few I had tried, but it has been a while and it is time to dig them out.

My records show that I paid $130.25 for the box from a JR auction.

The rich/earthy mocha really appealed to me with this medium body cigar. Good volume of smoke and nice draw.

Here are a few reviews that I was able to locate.

I don't really care for this stick. I bought one over the weekend from my neighborhood B&M and found it seriously lacking, with a harsh, non-distinct flavor and an awful residual smell afterward. CAO isn't my favorite brand to begin with, and this one is near the bottom of that particular barrel. I do think the Brazilia is decent, though.

The CX2 was a disappointment to me as well. I am a fan of the CAO brand, generally speaking. The MX2 is my favorite smoke, and I'm looking forward to trying the LX2.
