These things are great if they ever dry out. It takes a lot of rest, but these are great smokes. I think CI keeps the Obsidian in a special humidor w/ the hygrometer set at 99. Great review.

I agree completely. 6 months, and you have yourself a great smoke! On the cheap too!

Yeah. I agree with everyone who says they need some time and need to dry out. But don't they look crazy delicious when they're young with those nice dark oily wrappers?!

I smoked (some of it anyway) one of these last night. I was very disappointed. Draw was too loose, ash kept falling off (pretty much every draw), and it tasted like dirt. I think I got a bum cigar.

Try another 2 after about 6 months rest. I think you either got a bum stick or it didn't sit long enough. Two more months and mine might be ready...
