    Default The Smallest Review ever - CAO MX2 & Italia Comparison

    I tried my first two CA0 MX2s in the last month and WOW I love them.
    Tonight I had my first CAO Italia. The MX2 blows it away IMHO. Although the Italia is NOT a dog rocket.
    Both decent smokes but the MX2 wins the battle hands down for me.

    I told you this was the smallest review ever.

    I had an MX2 the other week, and I haven't had an Italia in a while. I always felt the Brazilia was better than the Italia...I agree though that the MX2 beat them both.

    Love the MX2, need to retry the LX2. I have a Brazil and American never tried in my humi. Does anyone have an impression for the American. I got the landmark like a novelty.

    No - the "smallest review ever" would be:

    CAO MX2 - Love it!

    CAO Italia - Hated it!


    -or-

    CAO MX2 -

    CAO Italia -

    I have only tried the Brazil and based on this post, I went out to my B&M and got an MX2 and the Italia.

    Probably smoke those sometime this week.

    I love the maduros and thus the MX2 has become a staple. Found a box of MX2 Robustos for cheap on famous smoke's cigar monster early oone morning so I was thrilled.

    I just picked up a LX2 couple weeks ago. Letting it get to my preferred humidity before breaking it out though...maybe tonight.

    Sound like my experience with Camacho... Only one or two cigars in that line I'm even in the least bit interested in...
