I smoked one of these about two weeks ago. I bought it purely on the recommendation of my local b&m owner. She said it was her current favorite to smoke, and I figured I'd give it a whirl even if it was a tad expensive for me ($15).

I really enjoyed smoking the cigar, and was able to pick up that it was a little spicy, though that's about all I took out of it.

Dumb newbie question: On a cubby like this, are you supposed to chop off both ends? I wasn't sure what to do since I'm not used to my cigars coming to a point on the lighting side. When I smoked mine, I chopped off a small part of the lighting end, figuring I wouldn't be too wrong or too right.

The idea with this shape is to simply light the foot and enjoy the cigar waiting for the flavor to open up as it gets to the fatter dimension. Surprisingly this one came with flavor galore right from the start.

I clip the end closest to the band and light the other end (foot) even if it is closed. Kinda like a Hemingway...
