I had my first CAO MX2. It had a dark maduro colored wrapper, fairly smooth, good sheen. It was 6.5X54 approx. torpedo.
It clipped clean, pre-light draw was good. It took a little extra torching to get it lighted. The draw was good and nice smooth flavor. It had a good volume of smoke.
The taste was smooth, a little spice. As the burn progressed it seemed to get milder or my taste buds got used to it. Not that it was a bad smoke at all, it was a very good one.
When it got to about 1/3 left it went out suddenly between puffs. I quickly relit it before it got cold. I smoked it down to where I removed the first band and approaching the second and my wife arrive at the bar and was ready for dinner. So it became a dead soldier with about an inch and quarter left.
I paid about $5 or $6 for the single. It was good. Solid B smoke.
I reserve an A grade for knock your socks off smokes.
