CAO MX2 Dagger (long post)

As I wandered around my local B&M I was looking for something new to try. I usually don't do CAO cigars since they tend to be a bit harsh for me. But I saw these on the shelf and decided to give them a shot.

These little cigars are 4 X 36 ring gauge and with a double Maduro wrapper.

Construction is very good. No big veins and a nice, pleasant aroma.

These lit very easily with a match and I instantly could taste the chocolate aroma of the maduro wrapper. Burn was, nice slow and even.

At this point I was getting some hints of Dried Oregon cherries, okay maybe not dried Oregon, but definitely I was reminded of cherries.

Burn was even and no hint of harshness. The first third of the cigar was very nice.

The ash was firm and by now I definitely was getting a good woodsy flavor out of it. This was also a very strong cigar; full bodied and flavorful.

My first problem just showed up. I took off the wrapper and found this gaping hole in the wrapper. There was no leaf on the band so I figure it came this way.

Towards the end I was getting a little bit of spice but nothing too strong.

I pretty much ended the smoke with it about 1/2 to 3/4 of inch long. The flavors were very good throughout and, other than the hole in the wrapper, I was very satisfied with it. I will be getting more of these smokes. 9.0 out of 10. Not bad, not bad at all.

Dried oregon cherries?!? You are soooo in the right madhouse.

Thanks for the review.

Sounds like these might be worth a try.
