The CAO Lx2 Toro is a 6x50 stick that has a Honduran wrapper along with Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers. The initial aroma (pre-light) smells like black pepper mixed with an earthy scent. The wrapper has a smooth oily feel accompanied by a tight pack. Time to light it up.
The initial flavor you get when you first light this stick is a rush of black pepper. At the beginning the cigar is very spicy, but don't let that turn you off, it gets better. The smoke output is decent, the draw is really nice, and the burn is semi-even. It's definitely a full-bodied, full-flavored cigar.
When you get to the 2/3's point to the end the cigar, the spice fades away and is replaced by a sweet/woody flavor. However, the spice doesn't completely leave, it's stays in the finish. Overall, this cigar is a typical full-bodied cigar. Most full-bodied cigars out there have the spicy/woody flavor. As I mentioned in reviews before, I am not a fan of full-bodied cigars, and this one is no exception.
Stogie Rite score: 86
