I tend to like heavy cigars form some reason.  They also said it smells like sh1t and they are right.  It seems like a cigar that smells bad unlit tends to be great when you smoke it.  
 It had a strong taste of hay.  I have heard this described before and thought that it would be the last thing I would want to taste in a cigar.  As most have said it is actually a very pleasant taste.  It was very smooth and no aftertaste which I like.  This was a really great smoke period.  Adding that it cost $3 a stick and it is a real good deal.
 
 The only thing I did not enjoy was towards the end it got a little acrid which I hate.  This could be my own fault.  I only let it sit in the humi for 4-5 days.  CI ships real wet and it still felt a little bit over humidified.
 
 Maybe you guys can educate me.  Can being a little over humidified make the cigar a little acrid?  Generally will some rest help a cigar not become acrid?
 
 Anyway I hate liking cigars that are hyped up but this is a really great cigar at a really great price.  Time to order a box.  Have a feeling they will age well.
 
 |  Yes!  Most Cigars Are Shipped Very Wet.  I Usually Let Mine Rest At Least 2 weeks Before Smoking any, sometimes 6 Months To 1 Year.  That Should Take Care Of The Acrid Taste.  I also Keep My Cigars Around 58-60% RH, Now,  They Seem to burn & Smoke Better!:tu |
