This one was pretty good. It was probably the best one I've had out of this box that I can recall. The others have ranged from good to frustrating due to either rough burns, poor draw, or a combination of the two. I guess those issues could be my own fault. Not sure of the box date, but I got them about 3.5 years ago. They were probably close to a year old when I got them. I have a little less than half a box left. 😞 This was part of a purchase(s) I made that put me on double secret probation and indefinite cigar buying hiatus.

Looks delicious, I've been thinking about trying those eventually. Sorry to hear your luck has been mixed with them, reminds me of a few purchases I made awhile back. That's the kind of thing that almost kept me from going south again until a bunch of azzhats here convinced me to try more recent stock. Glad I did. I heard some mixed reviews on these awhile back, probably around when these came out, but I've heard they are great when they are on. Glad this one was good!👍

Hey, isn't that echinacea in the background...?

Actually, they're poppy plants at my opium farm.... 😰 Ok...I'm just kidding. I really wasn't sure what they were, but after looking it up, you are correct. Thanks for letting me know. 👍

One of my all time favs. Are they tubos?

If it will help you get out of the dog house I'll take some off your hands.
Hey, Just trying to help!

Not tubo.

Thanks for the offer, but the damage was already done. Fortunately, I got to keep the cigars...easier to ask for forgiveness than permission kind of thing. :-"

I have an intial release box buried somewhere. I'm gonna have to go dig it out and fire one up. X

Looks like it to me.
