Cigar Reviewed: CAO BX3

Had my first CAO BX3 in the robusto size and couldn't get enough of it. I'm a little biased when it comes to CAO cigars being such a giant fan of pretty much anything blended by Ricky Rodriguez. That being said this being the first stick NOT blended by Ricky had me a little wary but it delivered. Super oily Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper that hit me with some heavy earth and coffee notes off the bat but for me the second third is where this cigar shines. The second third transitions into more of a espresso forward flavor but the super sweet molasses and cinnamon finish made me fall in love with this stick. Good construction with a very consistent burn only needing to be touched up a couple times. I found myself not wanted to put the stick down and needing to exercise some self control as to not smoke it too fast. Really smooth, really flavorful cigar that has to be tried.
