well i recieved this smoke from smokntaz (ken) a while back. thought it would be a nice day to smoke it...not the greatest reviewer but ill give it a shot.:ss
CAO LX2 toro
some prelight notes:
well i clipped it with my xikar cutter...the wrapper was a little toothy but very consistant. some little veins but nothing big. there were no soft spots, and construction was great. some mild spice.woods notes off a puff. not to mention a great looking band.
1st 3rd:
once lit, with every puff there was plenty of smoke. with some nice woody flavours, and a hint of spice. the smoke had a oak smell to it, it was very pleasing. the burn/draw were perfect. with the ash a nice color of light grey to even white. a little flaky, but nothing to worry about
2nd 3rd:
the middle section of the cigar, i was picking up more woody notes and little less spice. and a little hint of sweetness. the burn, was still great, the ash fell off after 1.5 inches. starting to more full bodied now
last 3rd:
more sweet and woody notes coming into the picture in the last 3rd. got some toast flavors as well. the burn was great and very consistant. didnt really want to take off the band, but i had to the bottom one off. the flavour of the smoke was like campfire toast...not bad at all.
overall:
well, if you were to rate this cigar off appearence, construction, flavours, it would rate very high...im not a huge CAO fan, but this cigar was great. i think CAO might have got it this time. a very plesent smoke.
