1) Do NOT remove the Oliveros from their tubes. The manufacturer dips a small sponge in Bourbon, and places it in the tube at the foot of the cigar. That is how they "infuse" it. If you take it out of the tube, you stop the infusion process, and believe me, those Oliveros are so light in flavor, that they need as much infusion time as possible.
2) The tubes are sealed, so you don't have to store them in your humidor.
3) It is best to dry box the Gurkha for a few days, so the stick drys out a little.
4) Do NOT expect the Oliveros to taste anything like the Gurkha.
5) If you like the Oliveros, you can usually pick them up here for $1 a stick. Last year I won 3 of each (Rum, Bourbon, Cognac) for a total of $9. Personally, I feel I overpaid!
