My local tobaconist came back from the big RTDA Show
and surprised me with this special present!

Left to Right:

Helix: Have my fingers crossed!
Partagas 1845: The wrapper looks delicious!
CAO MX2: I almost hate to smoke it...I finally have 1!
Hoyo: Wow!
El Rico Habano: Very...Very...Dark!
Macanudo: It's a Mac, but I'll smoke it!

Can't wait to smoke 'em...so I won't wait!

My report on these cigars

Partagas: Good mellow cigar
Helix: still sleeping
CAO Mx2: The best in the bunch
Hoyo de Monterrey: still sleeping
El Rico Habano: very good, a little stronger than the natural.
Macanudo: I gave it away 🙂

Mx2 is very good. Probably my favorite CAO at the present time. I bummed mine from my dealer after his return from RTDA.

You gave the Mac. away...
how dare you...LOL

...octo

are these MX2s in the stores yet?

Octo: Of course I did. I was tempted to remove the band and smoke it, but thought "nah, pass the Mx2" 🙂

Robby: Not yet.

I think they'll be going into stores mid - late october.
