just sittin here on my deck, relaxin after a long ride and an excellent steak, enjoyin a perfect 70 degree evening, along with an awsome wisconsin sunset, a Sam Adams cream stout, and a Cao Mx2 torpedo thats been sittin in the humi for around 9 mos. WOW, what a cigar! whats everybody else smokin? about the Mx2, just wondering, a cigar thats this good, you'd figure everybody would carry, but this smoke is hard to find, even at CI, with all the CAO they have. it poses a ?, am i missing something? is this smoke kinda rare? whats the skinny? can somebody shed some light on a maduro subject?

I love the MX2's. I played golf today and had a MX2 Torp. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!! Made 3 birdies while i was smoking it. Not sure if the cigar had anything to do with it.

jeezy peezy!

Nite, the Brown Label is nice! I've only had one, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Extremely rich and smooth, with strong hints of coffee and mocha. Medium bodied, with deep robust flavor. I wonder if we'll be getting them in.

I've got the hat (some of the only CAO swag that I like). I've never even seen an MX2 cigar in person. Come to think of it, you don't really see them listed very many places.

Oh Yeah! that MX2 is something else. The Brazilia is almost just like it, but a tad milder. Definitly one of my favorites. I also love, but just love Sam Adams Cream Stout. I've been drinking that about 5 years now and it never looses it's rich chocolate taste.

If I can recommend another good smoke that would go well with this drink, I would go with Onyx. What a tasty cigar. When it comes to cigars I don't care if it's mild, I don't care if it's strong just make it tasty and I am happy. MX2 and ONYX leave me with the best impressions.

Happy Smoking ya'll.

I have smoke a couple of boxes of MX2s in the Beli version. I was unimpressed. I was disappointed in the whole cigar. It was too mild and tasteless. To think if even compares to the Brazilia is wrong. I find the Brazila to be a spicy, bold med-full bodied cigar. I think this is the best cigar CAO makes and I always have some in my humidor. I will try the Italia but I won't get my hopes up. The proof is in the cigar......

I'm afraid I have to agree with stickbow on this one. Admittedly, I have only tried one MX2, the torp., but it was definitely a loser. Totally flat tasting and minimal smoke output. Tossed it half smoked. Too bad, it was aged about a year as I recall being told, and I had really looked forward to smoking it.

Love the Cammies though.

They're hard to find around here, but I have one I've been saving, as it's the last one I've seen for awhile. On the whole, I have to say I prefer the Brazilias, and I have a box of Ipanemas! 🙂

I'll have to go with Stickbow and hoyodude. I was terribly disappointed. CAO's are some of my favorite smokes and this one was a let down. Brazilla's are much better.

At first I wasn't too impressed with with MX2. At first, mine were plugged and kind of flat tasting. Later while playing coolerdor tetris they ended up in th 63%-65% cooler.

After a month, they really opened up. Great maddie taste with a touch chocolately sweetness, interesting spice overtones and great overall taste! I love these things!
