yeah, another overhyped, good tasting, well made cigar with a ridiculous price tag. It probably does taste great, but i will never pay more than 10 bucks for a cigar. Heck, on cbid one can score a cigar that is prob just as good for 5 bucks!!! sure, after you smoke this sucker, u can add the band to your "bands of cigars you have smoked" collection, but that is just not my forte. I'm just as happy handing a nice cigar to a buddy who does not know crap about cigars and getting a "WOW this is great, much better than that swisher" than blowing 30 bucks on something legal made out of a plant!!!!!!!!
