on a side note, KotC, have u smoked any of the recent ones u picked up? Your genesis theory has me concerned that these may not be the same mb3s from a few years back. the continued offering of these at this price has me wary.

Just finished the Rob that had 40 days or so of rest.
Tight canon, slightly tight of perfect draw.
Perfect burn, lots of smoke, draw remained a bit snug, but that's fine, these need to be smoked slow.

Coffee and bitter chocolate, with the floral notes popping in and out during the middle of the smoke.
Started a bit "rough" for the first 1/2 inch or so, but then quickly settled down. (Some might call it a pepper blast........I just call it rough.)

These will be "ready" in another 6 months or so, and I expect the baker's spice component to makes its appearance then.
Didn't get much of any of that baker's spice in this one.................still a great $3 cigar in my book, even now.

Might have to make room somehow for another 20......cause I'm not getting more storage.....not going down that road.....been holding the line for 3+ years.
