Good stick, smooth burn.

I've been smoking these for almost 20 years. That should be an indication of my thoughts about this stick.

for the money a very good smoke

Used to get these, and switched from another cigar to these for my box club. That ends that. The cigars in the bundle ran from so tighly packed that even with a heck of a lot of poking I couldn't get a draw to so loosely packed that they smoked absurdly hot and were gone (if I chose to finish them) in 10 minutes. These used to be a decent cigar. Too bad, unless they are changed dramatically I could not recommend these at all.

sure made my fellow poker players happy i would share some and turn them on to a great cigar at a very good price

I store each shipment in two humidors. 1st in a large unit ageing and conditioning. Then move them to the second. Raiseing the humidity a bit more. By this time the monduro wrapper is dark oily and sweet. It competes as a smoke with cigars many times the cost. It will never be as pretty but I smoke for my plesure not to impress some weekend dandy
