I haven't even heard of this brand before, did you buy just because they were cheap, or did you know anything of the brand beforehand? Mainly to avoid the situation you find yourself in, stuck with what may be 24 horrible cigars, I won't buy blind anymore, I don't care if they are giving them away, why spend your alloted cigar time, which is so dear to me, smoking a cigar that you can't wait to finish.

I' agree. I also bought a 5 pack and am considering trashing them. Yes Aberdeen they were a bargain...but sometimes there are finds out there.

One of the redeeming quialties of a bad cigar is it's ability to be flavored without feeling bad about trashing a good cigar. Take one of those jar humidors and fill the humidifiaction device with cognac, scotch, rum, vanilla extract, or Grand Marnier. Let your sticks set up for 2-4 weeks in there and you'll have some nicely flavored sticks that have lost their edge in the process.

Just broke one out so I could form an opinion. After the initial 1 1/2 inches, it smoothed out a bit. Of course, it could just be my taste buds are so angry at me for smoking this thing they shut down. There is a bit of a skunky ammonia finish that lingers. This is usually an indication that they are way too young. I would suggest you put them in a well set up humidor for 3-6 months and let them get some age on them.
