Into my 3rd inch of the LX2 and I'm not at all impressed.  It ain't bad but it ain't good either.  I've had this stick  resting for probably over a year.  The draw and burn are quite good and the wrapper is impressive looking but that's where the positive points end.  It has more of a charcoal and leather flavor which is not my preferred profile.  It has a stale aftertaste.  It's very one dimensional.
A 1-D cigar in a 3-D world.  Most of those "older" CAOs are like that for me.  Look better than they smoke.
Apparently, it smelled good though because a BOTL sat beside me and talked my ear off while I nubbed the LX2.  It never got any better.

As  teenager growing up in Poway,CA playing baseball..I was thrilled to hear in 1982, Tony Gwynn and his family had built a house just up the street from my family's. He quickly became the face of the San Diego Padres and was one of the best hitters of all-time. If he was outside while I was coming or going...I always got a friendly wave and sometimes we chatted. He along with his son, Anthony and daughter, Anisha would always come by every Halloween...and I made sure I was home. He would come in and chat with us for a bit. All I can say is we all know what a great player he was...but he was even a better person and embraced the fans. I was a left-handed pitcher in my day and my favorite number was #19. My parents had California plates that had "Lefty 19" on them. When I sold my truck and playing days over and my parents moved away, I took my plates off and notified the Gwynn's my plates were available. I believe at the time..Tony put them on the Escalade they had. Today..I am obviously very saddened by the passing of Tony Gwynn. Brought me back today to my youth and just what a complete class act he was. Baseball and the world lost a huge star today. I will always treasure the times I had to talk to him. He passed away at the same hospital Dylan was born in. RIP Tony Gwynn!!!!
Thanks for sharing, Jeffrey.  Great story.  He was way too young but may he now rest in peace.

I just finished off the rest of yesterdays Undercrown with a little whiskey.  It held up pretty good for the 2nd day.
