Review Notes: I have to admit, that this was one of the better cigars I have smoked this year. HOWEVER, the box I received was over 11 years old. I'm certain that the sticks that I smoked today do not taste like the fresh ones available through JR. These oily wrappers surrounded these sticks which showed its excellent construction. I loved the cocoa notes and wish I would have had the foresight to put more of these every-days aways! For the price, and the storage time, I thought these were excellent investments!
