I have had those before and once I got one that had a very earthy-dirt flavor to it. The other two were very smooth and rich. However, you mentioned a good draw . . . most of the ones I had were a bit tight.

I usually don't give up after only one. Generally I will buy 5-packs from CigarBid.com and give them all a fair sampling.

Also . . . if you bought it from your local shop they may give you another if you tell them it was a "dog". I have a very good relationship with my local tobacconist and the two times I have told him that I got a bad stick he has not only given me a new one of the same line but one or two others that he would reccomend. GREAT GUY!
