The Ichiban maduro is better than the Drew Estate bundles IMHO. The Ichiban maduro has complexity and has a transition going from the 2nd to the 3rd. Dominant notes are Chocolate, nuts and a lil spice and an earthy core with sweetness. On the retro this stick opens up with sweetness and the chocolate becomes somewhat creamy in both taste and texture. It has a short finish leaving the palate dry with a mineral or metallic quality to it.

Sorry for the late response. I forgot about this request.

This is by far one on the best bundle smokes I have ever bought. Shes a nubber!!!

Man you really screwed this up for everybody! 😇 Those bundles were going for around $36 a piece and now they're over $50!

I bought mine for around 35 but have no problem scoring them for 40 I think 50 is retail.

Update#You can quick buy them for 37$

Now that I have dove into them, I can report back that they are not all consistent as in flavor profiles. But all have burnt well and have plenty of body.

I feel like some have less of a cacao note and more earth and some have that bang on dessert quality. But all in all its a bundle stick and its the best bundle on the market right now IMHO. Way better than the RP Cargos for sure. These and the DE ones are on my bundled top lists.

With the FATHER free shipping code, that's better than cbid as of late.

out of character, I took a shot at this with free shipping. Worst case scenario is I will give away a bunch during Wildman Week End late June and impress the kiddies on the trip wif da Room 101 bling thing for $2 each.

Hoping I like them for the same $2!

Same bundle went on Cbid last night for $43 WITHOUT shipping. so add $7 to that if buying it by itself. If these are any good at all that's a good deal at CI.
