I wasn't a fan of the eXtreme line. They weren't gross, but they weren't a cigar worth trying more than a couple times when they first came out. As CAOs early entry into strong cigars, they couldn't hold a candle to bundle buddies CAO maduro and CAO cameroon. The good news is you got through what should be the worst and can look forward to better with the next two cigars.

It will be interesting to see what you think of the eXtreme corona size and if the blend is better in the thinner ring cigar.
