    There was a topic about it in a different thread, but they're just ultra-stingy when it comes to refunds. My sampler had several expensive cigars with cracked wrappers. They refused to replace the cigars themselves, and offered only to pay UNDER the average price of a cigar in the sampler. The total pre-shipping cost of the 25 cigar sampler was $60, the damaged sticks all had MSRPs of $5-7+, yet they only offered me a refund of $2 per damaged cigar.

    Great review. You are right on with the profile I think. By the way a few that I have smoked also had flaky ash and very loose draw. I think they all are constructed that way.

    Sorry about the shity Customer Service from Ci. I always got cigars properly packaged and in good condition from them. Although once they did forget to include something and resent that to me without any problems.

    Funny coincendence, a ceinfuegos I smoked a couple days back also had the cracking wrapper action near the head. By the time I handled the monstrous stick down to it's finally 4 inches, the wrapper had fallen, crumpled, and desinigrated in my mouth. It got so bad that I finally just ripped off the damn thing and smoked it without the first layer of wrapper! Still drew in well.

    I also noticed that the draw was very minimal for the first third and gradually became a decent drawing stick with a bit of power. It took forever to smoke, couldn't say how long as I didn't time it, but it must have been about 75 minutes. In the end I smoked less that was far more memorable, but if you are looking for a casual long lasting smoke with medium body, this one isn't bad.

    I wouldn't buy a box.

    I smoked one a while ago that I had in my humi for about a year. I wasn't to impressed, especially for how much I paid for it. I'm glad your experience was better then mine.

    How far down did you smoke it? As I said, mine was bland and didn't produce very much smoke for the first 2-3", but after that it improved drastically.

    smoked the whole thing. i really don't remember if it opened up later on or not. I also had wrapper problems, but it was at the very end of the cap so I just cut it off.

    I've got a birthday party to go to this afternoon, so all the buzz has made it necessary for me to light one up tonight as well.
