I really enjoyed stumbling upon your review of this cigar Will. I had one sitting in my humidor at 68% rH for a few weeks and figured today would be a good day to try this bad boy out. I found the quality control lacking to say the least. I too had a wrapper split on me near the final third and the burn was hellishly uneven. While I strongly enjoyed the flavors, I believe these may have declined since their initial popularity. My ash was a medium grey or so, compared to yours

So, my question to you is have you ever returned to this cigar, or had one since? Not bad for the price, but not really fantastic. Hell, it wasn't that expensive though.
