Cao lx2

icantbejon · 11-08-2008, 03:49 AM

I just curious if anyone has had one of these yet and what the reaction is. I'm a fan of a handful of the CAO line and I'm looking for a review or quick run down of these. Any help out there?

icantbejon · 11-08-2008, 05:51 AM

Really? No help? This is rare from all you guys.

Ferg!!!

YES!!! ABSOLUTELY!!!

Ya gotta try 'em!!!!

I ALWAYS look for them at every B&M I set foot in (hey, I LIKE them!!)

CigarDood · 11-08-2008, 08:22 AM

Thanks Tobii, I'll keep my eye out then.

We've got a CAO Event at the shop this coming Thursday and I'm hoping we have some show up in time for the event.

Good luck with that. I am currently looking to get my hands on them as well. Race?

Supposed to be released this month.

neoflex · 11-09-2008, 06:56 PM

Like the pink lighter Tobii!

I missed the release party that the local Tinker Box had but have yet to see them anywhere local. Probably a good thing with some newer crap that is hard to find being released(ie V Maddie, Tat Frank)

I am not a huge fan of CAO cigars. I think that, in general, they spend too much $$ on advertisement and not enough $$ on their products. That being said...I really enjoyed the Lx2. Great flavor, good construction, nice strength. I just hope the Lx2 does not go the same way as most CAO's I've had...pre-release is great but once they are in high production the quality goes south.

I had one a few months ago that some B&M I was at scored from a event in Vegas.

Would try them again, but the one I had wasn't anything special.

icantbejon · 11-10-2008, 03:33 AM

I might be over zealous, but I'm working a potential deal for a box. Waiting to hear back from a friend.

TripleF · 11-10-2008, 06:00 AM

According to the area rep they should be released near the end of the month, or the beginning of next month!!

GTsetGO · 11-10-2008, 07:13 AM

the release of these has been pushed back 3 times already.

i am looking forward to trying one, but the CAO line is 50/50 for me. either they are really good or really over hyped.

alley00p · 11-10-2008, 10:06 PM

We have a CAO event coming up locally on December 3rd that is going to feature the LX2, so I'll get to try one then. I'm not overly anxious about it - I figure it will be something new, but but nothing to get worked up about.

I have the same ashtray at the house. I've never had the opportunity to use it. I really like the look of it.

11-11-2008, 02:54 AM

we got the cubist with an order, since shipping it to europe would have been a fortune we sent one to tobii and one to mike (wanger)

its good to see that it is put to good use

Apparently tobii is actually a good guy. If he's gifted something, I guess he's the kind of guy that uses it. I never see that side of him. To me, he's always an @$$hole.

Just kidding of course, tobii has done great things for me already. He's a good man.

My tastes have strayed away from the CAO lines a little in the past, but I was pleasantly surprised with the Lx2. I found it to be a good full bodied cigar with a lot more complexity than most CAOs have had for me in the past. I still smoke CAOs just not with the frequency I used to. I still have one Lx2 sitting in my humidor resting. When I get home and can finally smoke it, it'll have been resting for 5 months already. I received it from Tim Ozgener at an event.
