Bdawg says:  MX2 stands for Maduro times 2.  That doesn't mean twice as dark.  CAO actually uses 2 wrappers.  It is a beautiful cigar.  Well constructed with minimal veins.  I definately had high hopes for this ciagr.  At first, it was medium bodied with a rich,  earthy, chocolate, slightly sweet flavor.   The draw is moist and slightly tight usually requiring a double puff.  The burn is slow and even with a nice light gray ash.  In the second third of the cigar, the hints of chocolate disappeared and woodish flavor took over which was not at all unpleasant.  Unfortunely the flavor became very chemically during the last third of the cigar.
