just smoked this with a glass of red wine. it was my first but i still have to say it might be one of my favorite cigars. before i get too into it i want to smoke a couple more.
It had a bunch of strong spicy and sweet flavors, as advertised. i know many other people here have tried them and like them but i think i might love them.
The ash held for 2/3 of the cigar (ill post pics monday). At the mid point of the cigar i stood it on its ash and walked inside to get my camera, came back outside and picked it up for a picture then stood it back on its ash and took a pic of that. The entire time i was not even being careful with the cigar.
cigars like the mx2 remind me why i try 4 or more new cigars a week. eventually i try one that is heaven.
In an effort to keep finding cigars i love i would appreciate any recommendations based on how much i liked this cigar.
 
the MX 2 is one of my favorite smokes, I have a box of the Toro & rubusto size , I think I like the rubusto better, but I better smoke a few more before I cast it in stone hahaha Enjoy, Vince
 
i didnt think it was very strong at all. very smooth though. it had good flavor but not over powering.
 
the one i smoked was a robusto, but i haven't tried any other size. I thought the flavors were strong since i could taste them over a powerfull red wine, the cigar was not something that would flatten you, just had easy to seperate flavors.
 
Also one of my favorites!

I'm not saying they're the same, but I'm finding I have a pretty finicky palatte and the other cigar I really like are the RyJ Reserve Maduros...

Just something about those that I personally find similar to the Mx2s - not sure why...
 
time to search the humidors, i kinds of remember maybe picking one of these up.
 
MX2 , Maduro , times 2 , a double maduro, not just the wrapper is maduro but the binder as well, hence the 2 layers of maduro, Much better than the Punch double maduro in my humble opinion , Enjoy, Vince
 
I'm definately all about the RyJ maduros, they are great. On my trip to Indy, I had a chance at a A. Fuente 8-5-8 maduro. Very nice. I'm getting ready to have one of my MX2's pretty soon too!
