CAO Mx2 Robusto 5x52
Wrapper: Connecticut Maduro
Binder: Brazil
Filler: Nicaragua//Honduras/Dominican Republic/Peru
Time in humidor: about 2-3 weeks
This cigars wrapper had a nice strong dark cocoa aroma to it. I had really enjoyed the Brazilia Gol with it's really nice cocoa notes, so this one I was particularly looking forward to. I had two of these, and shared one with a friend.
After lighting, we both agreed on what we were tasting. Chocolate undertones with overtones of... cardboard. It was a medium full body, but since most of the body was cardboard, it wasn't necessarily a good thing. There was lots of nice thick smoke output, and the burn was pretty good. But ultimately, I got a little past the halfway point before I finally put it down as I wasn't really enjoying it - it didn't really get much better.
The Brazilia was very nice. The Italia was nice. Unfortunately, this one just didn't do it for me.
