Had one when I first started smoking about a year ago. It was good, but I was getting into kick azz strong sticks. Still have a couple, so it might be time to torch one. I might appreciate them more now, since I'm liking smoother and mellower stuff.

My tolerance to nic buzz has built up, so I don't get the same kick from the strong sticks that I used to. I'm appreciating the flavors and complexity of cigars more, so that influences what I like more nowadays. I've found that some of the smokes that I tried and didn't like much are "better" now. My palate has evolved.

Ima rummage through my stash and see if I can dig one out and torch one tomorrow.

I think I sent you one with your SuperBowl winnings.

I found it. Thanks jespear. Smoked it this morning. The foot was very spicy, peppery and strong, with a tinge of musky sweetness. I thought this might be too strong for a morning smoke. About an inch in, it smoothed and mellowed out and went great with the morning mocha. Good smooth tobacco flavor the rest of the way through, but the musky flavor didn't come back. All in all, an enjoyable cigar, and not like I remembered it. It's now on my list for when I have room in the storage containers.

That's three hits in a row jespear. You have good taste in cigars bro.

Just curious . . . What were the other two ?

Like I said . . . with 5 squares to cover, I just started grabbin' stuff. Can't possibly remember what I sent.

Glad you're enjoying them, though !
