I may be late to the MX3 party but....

I walked into a cigar shop about 120 miles from my house as I passed through town last night and was suprised to see 4 boxes of CAO MX3.
I havent followed this cigar much....first I ever heard of it was a video somewhere of Tim from CAO showing them off in some sweet aging room, then recently read a blog about this cigar and they mentioned it was only available from one shop on the east coast. Besides that, I havent researched it.
Anyways, I really enjoy the flavor of the MX2, but hate what seems like a 50% chance of each cigar being plugged/not drawing. I've smoked about 3 boxes of MX2.
So I thought I'd pick up 2 of the MX3 sticks(they weren't cheap $12-$19 depending on the size.).
I plan to smoke them with my buddy who loves the MX2 and was drooling over the Tim video about 9 months ago. :)

The cigar has a second label on it like the one from the east coast shop, of the cigar shop's name. A shop employee told be that only his shop and the one I mentioned on the east coast have the stick. That really the case?


Anyways, I'll let you guys know what we think of it after we smoke them.

What do you guys think about this cigar?

I know that Drapers on the east coast has them, and that's about it I think. I'm pretty sure they're from CAO's private collection (is it the Escaparate collection? I don't remember the name of it), and that they're supposedly really damn good.

Huh, I almost ended up stopping at Cigars Ltd last time I stayed in Fresno. I'll have to check 'em out and maybe pick up one of these.

Yes you're right but as far as I know they are exclusive to Drapers.
