CAO MX2 GORDO MADUROCigar storage is a critical part of cigar smoking. Well, if you don't ever keep cigars in your home or office then it's not really an issue but the aficionado who never has a cigar in the house mist only be a casual cigar smoker at best. Part of the enjoyment aficionados get from smoking cigars comes from collecting them. Although you can't try every cigar at once, you can certainly save new acquisitions for the next day or important occasions that merit high-rated smokes. Or, you might just want to wait and try out that CAO Mx2 when you can sit back and fully enjoy it with plenty of time to spare. 

The variety and beauty of cigars makes it easy to collect them but you also need the right place to put them. Forget about leaving them in the cupboard or just putting them out on your desk. That would be a tragedy as it would just about assure their demise. To preserve those smokes and age them the right way, you need to use a quality humidor and maintain the temperature and moisture at the right settings.

Coffee and Cigars

Baccarat Churchill Connecticut SweetIt isn't the beverage that one traditionally associates with cigars, but for me a strong cup of coffee and a good smoke are the best way to spend some quality time sitting outside, watching the leaves change colors, and contemplating life and its mysteries or why my fantasy football team can't find the end zone with a map and compass.

A month ago, when the weather was so hot and humid that you could either fry or poach an egg on the sidewalk, I drank a lot of iced coffee. I really liked how the Baccarat Churchill Connecticut Sweet went with that -- that was a great summer cigar for me, blending well with the sweetness of the iced coffee.

Now that it's not so oppressively hot, I tend to drink my coffee with one of the Rocky Patel Cigars, or the CAO Mx2. I like my hot coffee to be as strong as humanly possible, and those cigars can both stand up to whatever my French press can brew while augmenting the spiciness of the drink with their own flavor. It's a great way to start off a weekend morning, with the drink I depend on and the cigars I so enjoy.

CAO Mx2

Monday, September 20, 2010 by Trevor Billingsley
If you're looking for a top-notch cigar, take a look at the CAO Mx2. It's earned raves throughout the cigar-smoking world as one of the best smokes on the market, and it comes at a great price.

The Mx2 in the name indicates that it's a double maduro. The outer wrapper is made from aged Connecticut Broadleaf, while the interior is a flavorful Brazilian. With filler tobacco from Nicaragua, Honduras, the Dominican Republic and Peru, this is one fantastic cigar.

One problem: it can be very hard to find. They didn't roll a lot of these, and many brick-and-mortar cigar stores have trouble keeping them in stock. Thompson Cigar can get them to you in time to make your next cigar-smoking gathering one to remember.
