I got my box yesterday, and I gotta admit I was impressed. I figured it would be a wood-working project cigar, and it really surprised me. Hey, I know what most of you are thinking...1st off it's not an Opus X, or anything close. It's a cheap, well constructed smoke. It started pretty mild and went up from there. I kept looking at it shaking my head, and dying laughing for buying a box for 24.95(w/ship.)! I'm really looking forward to sharing these with the neighbors. They've always got some lame-o smoke to pass around. This one is gonna leave them talking about upgrades!
