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.
