Welcome from South Carolina!

You will enjoy both of those smokes, the CAO Gold is going to be the milder of the two. If you are new to cigars, just be sure to have something in your stomach when you go for the MX2, they're not overly powerful, but may get your head spinning, if you smoke in on an empty!

Hang around, read through old threads, use the search, ask questions, (there really aren't any dumb questions, except the one that isn't asked), then hit up the "Newbie Sampler Trade Thread" located in the exchange forum

Most of all, Enjoy Yourself!
