After the responses here, I dug the box up from the bottom of the humi and opened it up and discarded the burlap strip. It wasn't a 'mild' burlap sack smell, it was a very prominent and strong 'burlap sack' smell and I tossed it.
Thanks everyone. I wish we could share pics of our collections. I'm pretty proud of mine. (No Padrons, No Opus X, etc) but nevertheless a very decent collection of well aged full bodied cigars ~ all for around $3 or less a stick, including shipping.
Really feel like I got some under the radar gems in there. They just needed a 2 year rest.
