Man, this things stink when you light them up but DAMN are they good! Beatiful color, great draw, and I can't even describe the taste.

Too bad everyone overbids on them when they come on CBid :-(

I like them too. Picked up most of mine in sampler packs or via trade. I've heard some folks complain that their lips turned black, however, sort of like smoking a Fidalgo Negro.

Ikon - if you go for a box you'll get a better deal. I picked up a box of the belis for $88 while CI sells the same for $140...

c,

You gotta hold out, man. I got my box of belis for $79.

"(ikon), don't give in to (over-bidding). That leads to the Dark Side."

Slight paraphrase

This was 3 or 4 months ago and 88 was the best price I had seen in a long time...

It's a damn good smoke. One of the best I've had yet. Taste's like chocolate in my opinion.

Yeah, it does almost have a chocolatey taste to it...

Dammit, ajeroth, stop talking about Black Pearls! You're making me crave another one!
