Cohiba Black or CAO MX2?

So, I had the chance to recently smoke both of these fine cigars in Orlando at Corona Cigar Company. I just can't make up my mind which one I liked better. The Cohiba Black was just a great, enjoyable cigar to sit down and relax. The MX2 was a little bit more complex, but still a great cigar. What are your opinions and if you had a chance to buy a box, which one and why? Thanks.

    I like both. Personally, I'd be more likely to go for the MX2, since they never have needed to take another name to add cache to their product. Just a personal thing.

    never had the cohiba black but I've had the MX2 in the smallest vitola - I like the MX2 and I am guessing I would like the Cohiba black as well but as far as price difference i would say that the MX2 would have to be the cheaper option between the 2

    The MX2 is one that I have enjoyed many times. Good burn and draw, Nice flavors of Dark Chocolate and coffee most of the way, and starts out smooth and almost creamy. But it turns oddly during the last third. It becomes bitter and much stronger, almost harsh and the creaminess goes away as well. The MX2s are like a Partagas Black in flavor if you have ever had that one. Worth a try for sure.

    I just smoked one of these last night. It was pretty great, fresh from the B&M though and it had a couple minor burn issues. But they were al easily corrected, and the flavor more than made up for any issues anyway. The moral is, this was a great smoke, so pick up a few and smoke away!
