Notes:

This must be a discontinued brand, however I got hold of eight in a sampler pack (came with golf balls, lighter and cigar cutter). Wish I hadn't!! After 2 weeks in my humidor, I thought they would be fine to smoke, but it was dry and tasted like wood ash the whole way through. It peeled and flaked as it burned and the wrapper came away in chunks like paper on a bonfire. I'll leave the rest in the humidor for about 6 months and see if they can be re-hydrated. If not, I'll hoist them off on some neophyte so I don't waste my good smokes. I'll let you know.

Notes:

These smoked for over an hour. Thick smoke, long ash, medium earthy flavor. A good consistent smoke. These came in the biggest box I've ever seen. I got them from JR's as an Internet special. I think they were $25.00 a box. Worth the money for such a big smoke.
