.....I won one a few months back. Whoever packed my order put it in a bag with 4 other much shorter sticks, and then on the bottom of my box, underneath 150 other smokes. The thing was mashed and smashed and bent almost in half by the time UPS got the bx to my house. Did I raise a ruckus and bitch and moan? Not really. Just asked for another to be sent. I was told they are OUT OF STOCK??????????? Then a few weeks later I see them up for bid all over again. WHAT!!!. Got my $9 back, but of course I wanted that awesome smoke in one piece. Was able to save about 5 inches and get a nice taste, but anyone who smokes knows, that would in no way be the same as smoking this huge beauty with it's perfect construction. Oh well.
