just bought two boxes of these and they absolutely suck. Half of what I've smoked so far has a stem going right through the middle. If you enjoy constantly relighting your cigar every minute or two then by all means, get these. The half that didn't have a stem still sucked, they burn unevenly, still must be relit constantly, and the flavor is off.
I imagine Mr. Twain is rolling over in his grave knowing that his name is attached to this garbage. |

It’s probably not just the toros.  |

Even I finally gave up on them. |

Really Mallus?
SEVEN years.......no email....no text.......no letter.......and of course, no visit?
And you limp in here complaining about a well known dog rocket, that you decided to buy TWO boxes of, and expect us to have pity, or be understanding?
Maybe live a little and buy some AJ cigars. |

I imagine Mr. Twain is rolling over in his grave knowing that his name is attached to this garbage. Luckily never had one. Don’t think I ever entertained bidding on them either.  The way I looked at it, if Mark Twain was known / claimed to smoke 20-ish cigars a day then it was always quantity over quality as well as price so I could never imagine a cigar named in his “honor” to be one that would be any better than a yard gar. |

I let them rest for a month and they are a lot better. Didn't have a stem problem. Sounds like you got a bad batch. That sucks. The one I smoked this evening burned even aall the way to the end. |

But WC bought his ‘gars from REAL tobacconists and I bet those cigars were blended with Cuban tobacco too.

Interesting Palama. Twain was also known to disdain any foreign cigars and only smoked US made, so he may have gone machine made as well. |

I heard Mark was a hoarder, and they are still off-loading his "collection"
lesson one...always buy no more than 5 of a cigar that you want to try...
corollary to lesson one...never buy a box of any cigar that you are trying for the first time |
