I was in a local B&M last Friday and they had 3 sizes of these and there wasn't a one of them amongst the 3 open boxes that I would have even taken for free - all cracked open and IMHO probably totally unsmokable.

Another totally different B&M I was in today had all 4 sizes and while most looked smokable, they were all rough looking and not something I would pay $ for.

I am a big Davi fan but there are better smokes for the $.
well i guess it wasn't just mine! i really thought it to be weird when almost everyone cracked and never had a problem with any other stock from my b&m. very tight and dryish.

i am one of the biggest davi freaks i know and i dont like these. the blend is ok but construction blows! i would sooner buy a griffen before buying one of these ever again.
