By the way has anyone else had unpleasent experiences smoking the CAO MX2? I've had three and finally my last one burned evenly but not without some help. The previous two were more of a chore than an enjoyment.

From what I have heard and read, the MX2 seems to be one of those smokes that you either love or hate. I really enjoy it as I do most of the CAO line. I have smoked a box and a half of them, don't remember having a burn problem with more than one and really love the heft of the cigar and the copious amounts of smoke.

I really like the CAO Maduro, Brazilia and Criollo. I wasn't too fond of the Italia and the MX2 while seemed like I would enjoy it was more laborious than I prefer in a cigar.
