I got a box of these beauties from Cigar Bid for $105 in that fancy chest. This is a BIG smoke, 7.5 X 54 on my ring guage, although it is listed as a 52.

It has a dark wrapper, very firm to the touch, so I anticipated a hard draw and snipped the end instead of punching a hole. Actually, it has an easy draw.

Good from the first puff, right down to the nub. I took the label off so I wouldn't be smoking IT, it is that good. Strong cigar, very long lasting. I smoked it for half an hour, then put it down for lunch, and then re-lit it, and smoked another half hour. I had to put it down again for an appointment, and re-lit it again. I'm still smoking it now, and it hasn't suffered much for the re-lights. I'll finish it up in time for Happy Hour.

I'd pay $3.50 for these even without the fancy box, anytime. I might even order more from Cigar Bid. I did a Google search for it and found they retail for $250, so I got quite a bargain, IMO.

"Happy Happy" as Emeril would say.
