Review Notes: After the above reviews I decided to try one of my Perfectos that had been in the box for 6 months. Easy draw all the way, long ash (1/3), light gray, , what a great taste. a little pepper about half way and then as I got to the last 2" and wish it was twice as long. There just seem to something about this stick, other then the price that makes it a winner. Glad there is another 30 in the box.
