Review Notes: In most cases I smoke more than one before offering a review, but since I'll echo a lot of expeiences already written, one seems to be enough. They are pretty, with mild veins. The flavor is OK, not great. I didn't find it overly spicy, but some was definitely present in this medium bodied smoke. The wrapper began to unravel when I removed the loose-fitting band as gingerly as I always do. The burn was OK until it hit the loose spot, and it was all she wrote. Man that became one ugly stick! These have been commanding relatively high prices at auction, and I bought some despite the previous warnings. Look elsewhere to save and have a stellar smoking experience.
