CAO Lx2 Announced
By Jesse | June 13, 2008 |
I posted some videos awhile back that were C.A.O.’s teaser for their new cigar. Well they’ve finally released some details.
The cigar is the CAO Lx2 which will be a full bodied addition to their line of cigars.
CAO, one of the world’s foremost premium cigar manufacturers, announced today that it will unveil its CAO Lx2 cigar line at the IPCPR 76th Annual Convention and International Trade Show in Las Vegas July 13-17.
CAO Lx2 (“Ligero-times-two”) is a full-bodied, full-flavored cigar named for the priming of the tobacco plant which produces a leaf that is dark, strong, and spicy. CAO Lx2 combines a Nicaraguan wrapper with a Honduran binder, and incorporates two different ligero filler tobaccos from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. “The inspiration for Lx2 came from a small growing field in Nicaragua called Pueblo Nuevo,” said CAO President Tim Ozgener. “Pueblo Nuevo is a 140-acre farm outside of Condega (Nicaragua) where tobacco is grown exclusively for CAO and Toraño brands. We found that tobacco from this particular farm yields an abundance of strength while retaining a nice, earthy sweetness. The taste profile played perfectly into what we were looking for with the Lx2 concept.”
Packaged in boxes of 20 cigars, CAO Lx2 will be available in three shapes: Rob (5" x 48), Toro (6" x 50), and the torpedo-shaped Beli (6 1/2" x 52), and will have a suggested retail price range of $6 to $8 per cigar.

I’m a big fan of CAO, so I’ll definitely have to try some of these when they arrive at my local shop.

That sure sounds nice. I hope we´ll see this one in germany. The Vision somehow never made it over here.

I really like the Mx2 (maduro times two) and the Cx2 (camaroon times two), so the Lx2 will be a welcome addition to the CAO line. CAO never lets me down, always a quality cigar and great smoke for a modest price. The label on the Lx2 band is looking hot as well!
