CAO MX2 Robusto

Hello Everybody, Today's review is CAO Mx2 Robusto

The outermost leaf is an ultra dark, super oily Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro, while the inner wrapper is a fuller-flavored Brazilian Maduro. This double-wrapper combination promotes a rich, flavorful smoke that’s smooth throughout with lingering hints of spice. To mix the pot even more, the folks at CAO use a blend of select long-fillers from Nicaragua, Honduras, Peru, and the Dominican Republic to complete this complex cigar, packing it full of spicy sweet layers of flavor.​

Wrapper : Connecticut Broad Leaf

Filler : Honduran, Dominican, Nicaraguan, Peruvian

Binder : Brazilian

Size: 5 x 52

Cost: $7.00

Time to Smoke: 80 mins

Construction: Dark Chocolate wrapper, stout and firm in the hand. Seams are pretty tight; there are a lot of veins, Double Cap on the head of the cigar.

Pre-Light: Aroma of molasses, earthiness, spice is faint

1/3: Once lit getting a sweetness, seems very mild cigar. I bit of Black pepper on the retrohale, a underlying flavor of chocolate. On top of those flavors smooth earthy notes.

2/3: The dominant flavor is chocolate. Directly behind a sweet flavor that is almost a rasin, followed by earthy notes. The pepper is still faint in the background. But there is something else, it might be the Brizilian binder. Brizilian puro, have a unidentifiable flavor in my opinion.

3/3: No changes in term of flavor. The smoke is becoming thick and coated the mouth more.

If you are a Maduro fan than you may like this, I would compare it to the Camacho’s Triple Maduro..

Overall rating: 8/10
