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.

They are nice! Our store carries all 3 lines: Habanos, Conn. and Cameroon. So far the most popular size is the torpedo.

I like Olivas and would like to try one of these. It would have to be very good for the price. I'm not looking forward to convinceing the wife, though.

I wonder...If you hit "the sweet spot" upon lighting just how complex is this cigar? A cigar develops from where it is lit to the end. I fear there is more hype than actuality in this cigar. I'd try one...Just don't think I'd buy a box.

It will be interesting to see how this thing goes.

I was wondering if anyone thinks these cigars are worth the money they are charging. Most of the places I saw are selling them for about $90-$140 a box (granted they are the devil sites) but I thought that was a bit much for a nub cigar. I bought my box of Olivia cigars for about $130. I thought if I get less of a cigar then I would pay less, but maybe they overlooked that in their marketing plan. I would like to try one of these, but have no intention on spending that much money for what I would consider 1/2 a cigar (I'd rather buy the full size cigar).
