I have never given AB a fair shake. How is this stick and is the price on today's Joe decent? Thanks in advance.

Seems like they bottom out on free fall around 28.00 for a 10 pack IIRC.

Hickory burns a bit longer but oak has a nice flavor to it for a stick.🐴

I love this gar jim... it's one of my top 3 fav's right now. 5 of 6 B&M's here in Nashville are sold out of them (and sell them out as a fast as they get them in).

Not a razor sharp burn on any that I've smoked yet Abrignac, but nothing I would call a burn "issue" at all. The flavor is just really dang good. What did you think of the flavor?

Love the flavor. AFA the burn, nothing real serious. More of annoyance.

Great! Did you get the Family Blend 10'er or the AB variety 10'er? I got the variety last week for about $27.

I like the prensados best, they still have burn issues, but we have all dealt with that.

Because they paid for the rating. Either those guys get bought off or they have absolutely no business rating cigars.

I like some of the AB cigars but I wouldn't pay over $4-$5 for any of them.

There's to many good cigars in the world to bother with sticks that have burn issues.
