It was awful. Lit up poorly, tasted harsh, scorched easily, went out twice. I’m too busted up for a better review.
Someone tell me it was a bum cigar, tell me my humidor was too wet, tell me I’m not man enough for the 5000, I don’t care. Just don’t tell me that you’ve encountered the same.


I'm not giving up, yet. I've got another, and my humidor is settling down.
Any thoughts?
It was not a bum cigar. Your humidor is way too wet, and as to the man enough part you'll have to ask some female to pass judgement as that's outside my area of expertise.

If the humidor doesn't settle down try dry boxing your smokes for a couple days before you torch them off.

Good luck. The 5000s are a great smoke and well worth a repeat effort.
