    I am not a huge fan of large girth cigars, but I may have to give them a try in the future.

    I'll try them, but if you think about it, if you don't actually NUB it, there's a lot of tobacco left in a 1" X 64 butt, as opposed to a 1" X 48 lonsdale.

    I Have heard good things, and I love big cigars. Usually longer vitolas though.

    Smokes as long as a churchill, huh?? I bet they smoke really cool

    The hype has gotten old on this cigar. Like to smoke Olivas, want to try this new one, but getting wary of the hype. After the sucess of the V and it's resulting scarcity, Oliva is sure to sell these out weather they're that great or not. The are supposed to be constructed of the finest wrapper, binder and filler, but still be affordable and be a long burning, short cigar? Now I'm all set up to be dissapointed because it doesn't live up to the hype. Maybe they will take some demand off the V's and we can stock up on those.

    I would like to try one though I do think the idea of hitting the cigar "sweet spot" right off the bat is a little ridiculous.

    I agree, the site says this would happen but I don't think it will. The "sweet spot" usually occurs after smoking the cigar for some time. The smoke/tobacco/flavor travels from the foot of the cigar towards the head and the flavor builds up.

    I like Oliva's.......but, I don't believe the hype on this smoke and lean more towards this being a creative marketing ploy and little else. I might try one, maybe, but I have many other smokes in that price range I would rather pick up, and large ring gauge cigars are not my first choice.......unless of course they are imported and purchased on free Yahoo internet.

    Well, any cigar that you can stand on it ash would have to be pretty well rolled. Why you would want to stand one on end beats me.
