What's up with the CAO LX2?
Just bought a mazo of these as they were one of my long time favorites. Pulled one out OTT cut it and the cap fell off clean. The draw was extremely tight and the cigar was almost flavorless. Had to put it down a little past halfway as my mouth was getting sore from pulling on it.
I figure I can drybox them for a while as the first seemed soaking wet but I'm dissapointed that the "bite" that I came to love might need a set of dentures. Hopefully it was just this one. Just me or anybody else experiencing the same? |

I heard theyve been buying bulk tobacco now, and their stuff is probably going to be different every box

I had a similar experience with a Tatuaje. It does happen from time to time with a handmade product.

I used to love some CAO cigars, but now, they all seem to terrible. I have not purchased a CAO cigar is quite a while. (Except when I purchased a box of CAO Americas by accident on Cbid! No one outbid my stupid miss-clicked bid. )

I heard that shpo cigars got the better tobacco too. I also heard that McDonalds hamburgers are made from ground worms. Oh, and that you get cooties from kissing girls. BTW, please post an introduction over in New Inmates. Thanks. |

Re: What's up with the CAO LX2?
I watched a video where CAO claims to suck test every cigar with a machine, I have already regurgitated my unsubstantiated rumor for the day, I have already made my introduction, I don't know what an shpo is, and to top that off, I apparantly now have cooties.

I think your confusing cooties with herpes and kissing with...never mind. That Mcdonalds rumor might hold some weight But seriously CAO cigars were really never good to me to begin with. I've have a few over the past couple years, never did it for me. I've tried probably 6-8 different ones...nothing. Maybe you got a dud? Maybe they need some Humi time. Report back after 3 weeks and try another one. |

Re: What's up with the CAO LX2?
I second that. After Cano Ozener (founder), Tim Ozgener (son of founder) and Jon Huber (marketing) left, I’m sure things aren’t as good as they used to be. Because of them leaving and company being sold, I haven’t had a CAO since.

Best post of the thread. Quote:
CAO hasn't been CAO since late 2006 or early 2007, or even earlier if you count the way they tied themselves to Torano. Since then, they've been passed from one parent company to another through accusations and mergers - this latest one with General Cigar & Swedish Match merging marks number three or four depending on how you chose to count them, although this latest one seems to have resulted in the biggest and most noticeable shakeup for the organization, sometimes causing the mistaken impression that the company was just recently sold. |
