Hi guys.
I really enjoyed 660 and I have been buying boxes and boxes over past few years. Last few weeks i noticed the 5 and 10 packs on CBS and decided to purchase butch of 6 and 10 packs. After babying them in humidor for 2 week. I smoked few of them so far and feel really disappointed. They don't burn a s well tastes are way off and they fall apart. Has anyone noticed the difference b/w the one from the box and these horrible 5 and 10 packs. Are these the real on as box cigar? Are they the lower quality and tobacco? Are they fake. Please advise, comment with your experience.
Cheers all |

Did you try / buy your boxes of 660s when they first came out? If so, that could explain things. Subsequent production is not as good as the OR. |

It's happened before with CAO. Great OR, later on, meh...
Pilons a good example. Amazing when first came out, now average.0 |

I can't tell you how many CAO cigars were, to my palate, "WOW!" on initial release, then crappy and sub-"meh" shortly after that, while CAO kept using the exact same name, boxes, vitolas, bands, everything.
As a result, I stopped buying their stuff years ago.

I think the exception to the CAO opinion is the brazilia, it seems to stay consistent. |

I had the same issue with the Roadkill version, which I loved and had purchased about 4 boxes over the last couple years. The most recent was just not the same. That happens though, each crop is a little different. |
