Re: Sancho Panza: Double Maduro vs. Extra Fuerte

Construction issues aside, I can handle smoking half a stick for what it costs, but if the Extra Fuerte is that much better, I'll definitely be picking one up and giving it a try.
Indeed. For the price, the construction issues are at the bottom of the list of my concerns. But I did think the Extra Fuerte had a lot more character and flavor. Worth trying for the price in any case, review or not

@Coz77
I purged it to no end, believe me. It works for one or two draws for me. Usually this works for most cigars, but this thing was intent on trying to get me to stop smoking it, haha.

And also, I noted that these things have an odd tendency to light on fire when you go to correct the burn...anyone get that? I take the Bic to it and the wrapper and ash just catch on fire...it's comical and strange to see. Wonder why these do that.
