Cigar Reviewed: CAO BX3

Smoked at: Carolinas

The CX3 has an oily dark brown wrapper with a super modern looking band featuring bright colors of silver, blue, yellow, orange, green and more, all with a metallic look. This 5 x 52 cigar has a rich cold draw that is nutty. On light up you get toast and leather. Shortly thereafter, cream, nuts, chocolate, and bourbon emerge. It's a very complex flavor profile that is interesting, not overwhelming, not loaded with pepper, and decidedly Brazilian. Delicious. Mine had a very tight draw that diminished the experience, and a very uneven burn, but it burned slow with a medium to long white ash. I will smoke this cigar again, but I'll definitely try to open it up with a draw tool before I light up.
