what do you do with these things? can't put em in the humidor cuz of the odor, can't smoke em cuz of the taste... I understand it's a good cigar if you go for this sort of thing so I don't have the heart to toss em... what do you do when you get your hands on a couple of these?

Not my cup of tea either, head to your B&M and give it to someone. Plenty of people love em, but I with you.

good idea... but don't have a local anymore... also kinda feel like handing out free cigars at a shop that sells the same cigars might be frowned upon...

Never had one, what sort of odor do they have and what is the taste that makes it so bad? Have a friend that loves these things, but he is also a huge Gurkha fan, so his opinion doesn't mean much to me.

If I might be so bold send them to me. I like them in the mornings with my coffee.

The smaller ring gauge Kyoto is pretty tolerable if you're not a fire cured tobacco fan. Zip lok baggie is fine if you have a man sized humidor.

Oh for crying out loud I wish I knew this going in. The reviews I read seemed okay, and now I've got ten of them coming to me on Saturday. I now have a scorching case of buyer's remorse.

don't fret til you get em... good chance you might like them... all kinds of people smoke latakia in a pipe and the kfc's can't be any worse than that...

ha!

a few weeks back I put in a lowball bid on a fiver of Kyotos, cause I heard/read that they are the best vitola, as noted by Z, and a few people said they were "interesting".

Unfortunately I won the bid.

I smoked one, and almost ditched it in the first 1/2 inch. Then it became tolerable.....barely.

The last 1/3 was mediocre yard gar quality.

So now I have 4, sitting in a spare dry box, waiting for my mooching BIL to show up.
