Those cigars arrived yesterday. First impressions are not good. Upon visual inspection, these are unquestionably the worst rolled cigar I have ever purchased. Almost every one in the bundle has some loose or cracked wrapper leaves. I'll have to let them sit for a few weeks in my humie before torching one up.

Yeah, I finally torched one a couple of weeks ago. The draw was incredibly tight. It made me wish I had one of those cigar pokers to run down the center of it. Despite the poor construction quality and the tight draw, the flavor was actually pretty good. If the rest of the box draws a little better, it won't be a bad stick for $1/each. In fact, just talking about it has made me want to pull out another one. Maybe this weekend. So many cigars, so little (smoking) time...

Hopefully the humidity level in the cigars has leveled enough to get a decent draw. Good luck and let me know

Just lit up one of theses after receiving a bundle.

Although the visual appearance is rather rustic, the construction is actually quite good.

No draw problems with this first one, and the description of a "sweet, woodsy, very mild flavor" is dead-on!! Aroma is also very good...sweet, smooth, and somewhat creamy w/nutmeg.

All in all, a very tasty value-priced offering from K. Hansotia...one of the better value-priced gars I've had in the mild-category.
