Nice. For you, and anyone else reading this who has Chiefs, let me share two rules I and my pals (who ordered them also) have learned:
1. Smoke them SLOWLY or all the delicate, complex flavors and aromas disappear. True of many cigars, but ESPECIALLY important with the Chief.
2. DO NOT smoke them outside on a rainy day, or even a very humid day, or you run a high risk of them burning badly and tasting somewhere between lame and terrible. Bad things happen to them when you repeatedly draw moist air through them (which you obviously must, while smoking them outside on a wet/humid day). If smoking them outside, choose relatively dry days only. (Similarly, don't smoke them in humid indoor areas either).
I hope this info saves someone from wasting a Chief someday!
