C.A.O. MX2 Box Press
Cigar Aficionado · Oct 1, 2009
Sharply box pressed and nearly veinless, this dark cigar has a fairly decent draw. The smoke is cedary and woody with some vanilla notes and a wispy finish of nuts and toast.

Halfwheel · Oct 17, 2016 · Nov. 1, 2014
I mentioned previously that I was a pretty big fan of the Mx2 line back in the day, and while I enjoyed the CAO Mx2 Rabid Reindeer’s profile originally, the harshness really got in the way of it, much to the detriment of the overall experience. Fortunately, time has washed all the harshness away, leaving a much improved, clean profile that was quite enjoyable and one I would like to smoke more of. The first third was definitely the star of the show, and while the second and final third weren’t as flavorful or up front with the notes as in the first, they were still much better than having the entire thing fall apart in heap of bitter harshness. So if you happened to buy some of these back in the day and still have them sitting around, I can certainly encourage you to dig into your humidor and revisit these. Much has changed, and it seems to be all for the good.
