Review Notes: To my utter amazement, this stick has become worthwhile. My early experiments with these were dreadful. They looked great, but were flavorless. I thought they were hopeless. But now they're what I would consider a morning maduro. A little coffee and cocoa. Once paired with my morning joe, the finish smacked slightly of raisin. Mild, polite, pleasant. They still fall in the "you get what you pay for" category, but it has developed into a serviceable bundle smoke.

Review Notes: This is my third one. I can confirm that it is lit. I see smoke. My girlfriend says she can smell a cigar. Yet, I taste nothing. I believe I have descended into Smoker's Hell, where I get to whale on these beautiful looking, buck-a-pop smokes all day, yet it's as if my taste buds were surgically removed while I slept.
