Review Notes: My review in November '07 was from the same box (May 07) as the two I smoked over the weekend. What a great smoke! It sucks that toomanychoices had draw issues as I have put away over about 20 of these now from samplers, 5-packs, and the box I have. All of mine have had perfect construction and burn with ample flavors of cinnamon, caramel, toast, and wood. An absolute nubber every single time. At $3.20 a stick this is a go-to big time.

Review Notes: I went through two five packs in about three weeks and ordered a box from CI. These are one of the most consistent smokes I have had in years. A thick smooth walnut colored wrapper that smells like cookies in the oven when it's lit. A solid medium strength, med-full flavors that are SO consistent throughout. The construction is top notch with every one having the perfect draw and burning razor sharp with about three ashes dropping for the total smoke. I usually prefer something stronger that tells me a story (changing each third). This doesn't change a whole lot from beginning to end but it tastes so damn good I don't care! Agree completely with the descriptions of caramel notes, touch of cinnamon (rare) and a consistent core flavor from stick to stick I can't put my finger on. I cannot imagine anyone from newbie to veteran not enjoying this stick. I hadn't had one in close to 2-months and grabbed one last night. I have gone out to the ashtray a couple times today to gaze at the butt like it was the prom queen laying in my bed. Totally impressed and to echo CrazFool; Altadis? Really? Nice work boyos. Unlike an orally challenged date this one will never give you any bite or make you flintch=o) Smoooooooth.
