So far these cigars are frustrating . Taste is pretty good , appearance is decent , the burn is very crooked , but when I take a draw my head feel's like it's caving in . Maybe some time in storage will help , maybe not . If anyone has any insight on tight smokes I would appreciate it . I tried 2 and gave up on both after about 1-1/2 inches . Only 23 left . Hopefully they will get better .
