Review Notes: I bought a box from CI. They arrived and you could have mistaken these cigars for railroad spikes. They were unsmokable. Impossible to draw, nearly no smoke, wrapper would split and crack on slightest touch. I smoked, or attempted to smoke, one per month. I was ready to throw them in a burn pile and write a terrible review; however, at three months they transformed. Good draw, still just a little tight. Beautiful to look at. Spicy but creamy with notes of cinnamon. Loads of full smoke, burns cool and straight. A pleasure with a great smell and a strong nicotine buzz. I now love what I had hated and I'm glad I waited for them to come of age.
