I dropped it at half-way and ran to grab a Padron 2000 to rinse my mouth out.

Maybe I didn't let them rest long enough........I guarantee that won't be the case for the next one I try.

Anybody else try this one yet? Thoughts?
OK, my curiosity got me. Of course I had to try the one you sent as soon as I got home yesterday. It had been in the humi a few days. Up front I couldn't find anything wrong with this cigar. Actually, after a few minutes into it I was considering taking some notes and doing a worthy review. Really, for me the first half was not at all bad. Just full-bodied and a little peppery. Then the flavors started to morph into harshness and bitterness. By the last 2 inches it was getting nasty.
But hey, if we didn't have some bad cigars, how would we know which one's were good?
