    You know...the bad thing about working in a cigar store, is that you tend to get 'spoiled' on good smokes. For the longest time, I used to turn my nose up, at the FdO bundles, simply because they were a bundled stick, and I was too new and stupid to cigars to know that you can get a good stick, in bundles. But after seeing customer after customer grab these things by the handful, I finally decided to give them a try...and am glad I did.

    In my experience with these sticks, almost always, the first half inch or so is harsh, nasty and bitter.....BUT...once the cigar warms up, they settle down into a very good, tasty smoke. It's just getting them to that point, that can be painful...but I think it's worth it.

    Just my humble opinion....YMMV

    Nah Scot I was just offering to trade him some primos for the bundle cigars. If he wants to keep them he should and give them another try. Oliva makes some great product.

    I've only had one Oliva bundled stick, it was a cameroon wrapper, that's all I can remember, but I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was for a cigar that cost only a little over $2 each.
    There's only two kinds of cigars, the kind you like and the kind you don't.
