Notes:

Decided to risk my life ...again.... and tried to smoke this cigar one more time. Surprise, surprise not bad. But here's the rub, I bought a box, OK 2 boxes of these sticks in 1999.

I was suckered by the first two I ever smoked and decided right then that I was hooked. Every year since I would try to salvage my pride in this purchase by trying to smoke a couple but each result was the same...utter disappointment!

Usually a papery taste to begin then mellowing off to a very mild flavor then ending very hot and bitter. Six years in the humidor has helped. Once again they started out papery but mellowed out very quickly then got better and better. Shocked, I nearly told my wife, then thought better of it as she couldn't care less. I thought these sticks were dead to rites. They are very mellow in flavor; can be a bit dry in the mouth but not bad on a cool night in Oct.
