I tried these smokes on the basis that they won the "cigar of the year" award at my favorite tobacco shop (next to CI, of course). I was impressed with everything: construction, draw, etc. I did, however, find the one I was smoking to be somewhat harsh, in addition to the full body. So I am letting it calm down in my humidor. I may bring it back out this weekend. If I do, I'll let you know.
