BOTL's,

What are some opinions on this smoke?

Liked it. Surprised at how mild it was for a big dark maduro looking stick. I was expecting something stronger than the Italias but not so.

Not my cup o' tea.

To much Maduro. Like the poured Maduro syrup in it.

But Im usually the minority around here.

I've had one sitting in the humi for awhile and it scared me, so I finally was brave enough to light it up and not only was it a lot milder than I expected, I thought it was very flavorful...almost sickly sweet. I enjoyed it thoroughly

OK. So I'm not crazy.

I have lusted after these for a long time. I love CAO and these were very hard to find. CI doesn't even list them. So when Belicosos(7x56) showed up on CBid I was more aggressive than usual and landed 10 of them.

Man, when they showed up, I was in awe. They were simply big, beautiful chocolate bars.

I cut and lit one immediately. It was a nice hour long smoke and the entire hour I waited for something that never came. I guess I was expecting more punch or depth but it wasn't there. The flavor was decent, construction flawless, burn even, the ash grey and strong. The stick just fell short. I'm glad it isn't just me.

I LOVE THEM!

LOVE THEM too. At the moment my favorite smoke, next to the Partagas Black Label!! I agree too. I thought it would knock me on my a$$ and it didnt. VERY mild and flavorful.........awesome smoke!!! I bought a box right after I smoked my first one!

I don't know but just won a 5'er and can't wait til they get here!! I'll let you know!

Burky

IMHO:

The best CAO.(the only cao i like.)

HWYMAN

I generally am not that big on Maduros, but the Mx2 is one of those that I do like.

It is one of those cigars that you get your sitting area all nice and comfy, make sure no one bothers you and settle in for a nice smoke.

I AM big on maddies, but found this one a bit on the mild side, particularly compared to their L'Anniversaire which, along with their Brazilias, are my favorite CAO smokes ...

Hmm.. I have one sitting in my humidor... about 3 weeks now, I guess I should smoke it soon so I can comment, eh? 🙂

I recently got a deal on a box of both the Italia's and MX2's, and I was pleasantly surprised at how much more I liked the Italia's. I usually love maduros, but the Italia is a much more flavorful cigar. That being said, I still like the MX2s and smoke them when I'm looking for something closer to mild-med.

I tried the MX2 Belicoso and found it practically tasteless,however,the smoke smelled delicious. That being said,I tried the Robusto and it was a different cigar. Nice rich maduro flavor with a little spice and pepper. The trick on these,from what I hear, is to age them for a few months. X

All mine are well aged and I love them! Creamy smooth full flavor. thick smoke with an excellent burn. for all those that are dissapointed you can send them to me.

Good smoke ,i couldn't belie my local place is selling the robusto's for $4. Then again he was selling pams for $10 apeice !!!
