Sorry, rude of me not to answer the question at hand, so here goes: Great cigar and value. It's hard to find a decent petite perfecto at a reasonable price for the size (i.e. under $5 a stick [and don't start nickel and diming saying, "Oh, my local shop has blah blah blah at $4.95" or "Fu@^T@'s MSRP for a $h0rT $T0rY is $4.95" because you will not find them for that price in MANY states/shops with tobacco taxes and markups]) rant over. I have to go now and visit my psychotherapist and my shrink (ran out of Zoloft this morning ;)
Bottom line, good cigar, good price, smoke it and enjoy.
