Anyone have any feedback on these sticks? I have a box inbound, but never smoked them. Saw the review in CA, and wanted to hear what you good folks thought.

Thanks

When they're on, they can be amongst some of the better larger cigars to come out of Havana. Coffee in abundance with cocoa undertones and a bit of that Montecristo "tanginess" when you get a good one. They can be a bit inconsistent from stick to stick, but even the lackluster ones are still not bad. I have found that they are not made to smoke "to the nub". They start going out on you frequently with about 3 inches remaining, causing numerous (and annoying) relights, if you like to smoke really far down. But still worth it if you can get several really "on" sticks in the box.

Yes I only have three left and will re-up. One of the outstanding cigars IMHO.
