Weekend Smoke: CAO Mx2 Robusto
The best part of waking up is definitely not Folgers in your cup. For me, especially on the weekends, it's making my special brew and lighting up a tasty cigar. We're starting a new series on G Luxe called Weekend Smoke where we'll review a select cigar that we happen to be enjoying that particular weekend.
This morning, I lit up a delicious cigar from one the Crew's favorite brand, CAO. The Mx2 is a limited edition smoke that is derives a good deal of its rich flavors from two wrappers: an oily Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro and an inner Brazilian Maduro wrapper. Rounding out the cigar is a blend of long-filler tobacco from Nicaragua, Honduras, Peru and the Dominican Republic. The Mx2 looks great, with its oily dark exterior just begging you to have a taste. The cigar burns well and there is a wonderful, rich tobacco sweetness in both the aroma and flavor that I absolutely love. This is a medium to full bodied smoke so make sure to have some breakfast before you light one up. Unless of course, you're a cigar veteran like yours truly. All I needed was my cup of coffee. We found a great deal on the Mx2 at Famous Smoke Shop where you can buy a box of 20 for $70.
