I got that cigar in a sampler from Holt's last Christmas, it's burning a hole in my humidor so I was curious if anyone has smoked one of these and if so, your thoughts?? Thanks.

I would give this another year's humi time. The Anejos I smoked from last XMAS's shipment all seemed just a little...not there yet.

The Cammie wrapped Sharks are extremely rare. Normally I would say, "Stop being a douche and just smoke the damn thing," but given the fact that some people will NEVER see a Shark in their lifetimes, let alone a Cammie one, I would make sure I was smoking it at its best if I were you.

'Course, I wouldn't blame you if you couldn't wait either...

Thanks Ecord, that's what I needed to hear. Another 12 months won't kill me I suppose.

I smoked two straight out of the box and they were really good. Aging them might round off some rough edges but it's already been 7 months and they aren't strong cigars to start with. I say they are ready to smoke now.

I got one of these in my Carlitos Way sampler, and I still have it. Guess I will keep it for a while, or until something great happens.

Well...I just smoked mine from the holt's sampler. And I must say that I am dissapointed. Dissapointed at my bad luck I should say. From the moment that I took the cutter to it I knew I was in for trouble. It was like taking the cutter to a stick of wood. The thing was rolled much too tight. So I cut as much off as I dared hoping to improve the draw and it did a little. It was smokeable, but I believe that it would have been a great smoke if the draw was better. The taste and aromas were wonderful, but I just couldn't get a full mouthful of smoke when I drew in to truley appreciate the cigar. Hopefully everyone else has better luck then I did. Wish I had another.

I put one of my 2 down for my birthday in April and i enjoyed it very much. The strange thing is I'm not a Cameroon wrapper fan but this stick tasted pretty damn good to me. But watch out these have been known to mold around the foot of the cigar so keep an eye out.

I have one left from the Carlito's Samplers i bought last year. I am going to wait at least ayear.

I had heard about this mold problem a while back as well. And indeed, mine had a few patches of white mold on the cigar. It was the only one in a drawer of about a hundred cigars that any. I thought this was pretty weird considering I keep my humidity around 67. After I wiped it off and seperated it for a time I had no further problems.

That's interesting, I have a box of the regular sharks that I just noticed are blooming (plume) like crazy. I keep mine at around 68%. They've been in there since last December and they are basically the only cigars I have that are showing it.
