"Disappointed"

Rolled to tight, uneven burn, binder cracked & peeled straight out of the box, lacking the flavor I was anticipating. Smoking a Perdomo Maduro 20th anniversary as I type. Definitely worth the couple extra bucks per stick.

"The darker the wrapper, the deeper the flavor"

Such an awesome stick. Yet another amazing creation by the experts at CAO!

"Good stick"

One of my favorite sticks burns evenly and consistent throughout the whole smoke.

"My favorite!"

Excellent all around smoke. I ve been smoking CAO MX2 for a lot of years. Never had a bad experience.

"Silky smooth"

It s a full strength cigar and it s double maduro but the taste is smooth and silky sweet and it doesn t punch you like a full strength cigar would do. You just feel nice when smoking this cigar even though the size is massive and it takes abut 1 hour 45 mins to finish.

"review"

this is the worst cigar ive ever smoked,got them today along with the cao brazzilin and the cigar burned like there was a stick in the center which was a 1/2 inch long and i had to keep touching it up every 4 seconds, dont waste your time. the cao brazillion cigar on the other hand is a favorite of mine and it s the 60x5. this cigar has no issues and is worth every penny

"Great smoke!"

Although I m not usually a maduro Person the MX2 was outstanding! Got one in a sample pack and ordered a box after smoking this gem!

"The taste didn't start until the end"

After reading the review from the site I ordered a 5 pack. Good construction, wonderful ashes but the cigar is very mild. Smoked a lot of Cuban so the strength of the cigar didn't impress.

"My Absolute Favorite Cigar"

I've ordered a box since General took over CAO and I have not been disappointed in the least. This beauty is still the maduro to beat: great burn, ash, construction, and taste of any full bodied cigar out there.

"General Cigar has Killed the CAO Brand."

General Cigar's recent acquisition of CAO is a sad thing. They have changed the MX2 and Brazilia cigar lines so drastically that I will no longer be smoking CAO cigars. I have smoked CAO's Brazilias and MX2s almost exclusively for over 10 years, but their horrible immitation of CAO's original brilliant blends are un-smokeable. Gone is the lush, oily wrapper and complex taste. General Cigar has replaced them with a very dry leaf and a one-dimensional, flavorless blend. The construction of the cigar is equally disappointing. The wrap is loose and the cigar tends to just fall apart. I cannot express how disappointed I am in what General Cigar has done to my beloved CAOs.
