Hoya de Monterrey Excaliber limited edition

Smoked this monster yesterday, here are a few thoughts.

1) I have had problem with both Hoyas I have smoked. Both cracked and peeled, this one not excluded but it was rolled so well it smoked right through the cracks.

2) I had heard this tasted buttery so I had to see for myself. Its almost like it was rolled in butter. Nice buttery tobbaco taste with a medium body. If you are looking for something to make your lips tingle this isn't it. But, if you are looking for a nice smooth smoke this one is pretty good.

3) Very different cigar from what I have previously smoked. I will most certainly smoke this again. If you are looking for a change of pace this is a perfect cigar for that occasion.

How long are you letting these sit in your humi before smoking them? And how's your humidity level in there?

I have a very crued system because I only buy about 5 at a time. I use an old cigar box, a gallon zip lock, and beads. My house is a constant 68. I only have had problems using this system with the hoyas. It really didnt matter because it smoked right through the cracks but I was scared for a little while.
