The CAO Mx2 Toro measures 6x54 with a very dark brown Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper. The cigar features a Brazilian Maduro wrapper as the binder and fillers from Nicaragua, Honduras, Peru, and the Dominican Republic. Let's get this very robust-looking cigar lit up.
When you get the cigar lit up, you get a very sweet black pepper flavor with notes of soil on the finish (mild spice). Through this 1/3 point, the burn isn't even (not uneven enough to touch it up), but the draw is nice and snug and it's producing great smoke. The flavors stay consistent through the beginning of the cigar. Let's see what we get entering the next point.
The 2/3's point still has the sweet peppery flavors, but there is a chocolate starting to mix in. On the finish, the soil notes have left and been replaced by a sweet tobacco flavor. The spice is getting stronger through this point, but not overpowering. At this point, the burn has evened out and the draw and smoke output are still good.
3/3's to the end brings a very chocolate/soil flavor with a creamy coffee on the finish. The spice has gone away at the end of this stick. Overall a nice stick offering complex flavors, good aroma, nice draw, a nice even burn, good smoke output, and flawless construction. I recommend you go and pick up this cigar.
Stogie Rite score: 96
