I too,
Smoked my first Black Pearl, last night, on the drive home last night. I was not impressed, until I got past the first 1/2". Then the cigar exploded with flavor. Awesome semi-sweet choclate flavors. It got better, with every puff. As I neared the first stop sign, of 2 in my 40 mile commute, 5 miles from home, the flavor went south, nasty. I turned on the dome light, to find that I was smoking the band. Ripped off the band, and smoked it down to a nub, enjoying every puff. I will be bidding on these, from now on.

P.S. Last night I saw 2 cars, on my drive home. The traffic was terrible. LOL
