Cigar Review: CAO Mx2 Robusto

May 13, 2008

I’ve been on a CAO kick as of late and was preparing to review the CAO Brazilia, but Alex beat me to it. So I decided I’d to go back to one of the first cigars that really hooked me.

There sat the Mx2, dark, dangerous and inviting with its black oily wrapper.

Cigar Review: CAO Brazilia Gol!

May 8, 2008

The CAO Brazilia has long been one of my favorite smokes–I always have a couple on hand in my humidor. It’s perfect for a quiet, contemplative smoke, which is what I was in the mood for tonight.

My wife was kind enough to bring me two fingers of scotch to go with it (Talisker Single Malt, Aged 18 Years), and I found that the combination of a beautiful spring evening, some Johnny Cash, and a great cigar and scotch pairing made for a fantastic evening.

Cigar Links Edition 6: CAO America

February 16, 2008

The CAO America is probably one of the most talked about cigars this past year. The cigar was hyped as CAO’s fullest bodied cigar yet and featured a Connecticut Shade Wrapper and Connecticut Broadleaf Wrapper. The dual wrappers give this cigar its unique pin stripe appearance. I first got a chance to try it while [...]
