Im only just starting off on my cigar journey and have smoked less than 20. I bought a couple of these along with another 10 pairs of various brands. I totally agree with Liberator 2033 and his review. I had to cut off two thirds of the first third as I couldn’t draw any smoke and had to relight it twice, found out why there was a tunnel in it? After that the burn became uneven and had quite an acrid taste to it which only got worse, I actually walked away from the final third. I hope this was a one off and the second one is better but I won’t be finding out anytime soon I think. The only good thing about it was the sweet cap on it, which I can still taste an my lips an hour after walking away from it, I think it’s haunting me. In summary, if this was the first step on my cigar journey, I would have considered not taking the second.
