Ok, maybe not everyone will think so. Maybe they just need a bit of aging – aging cigars apparently makes them better, like wines – but right now it was like smoking a burning tire. Yep, plenty of smoke, but it was extremely dense and strong, with a rather unpleasant flavor.

My friend Matt had two suggestions: Keep them in the humidor for 6 months and see if they improve, and give them to moochers who are always asking for cigars. I have yet to accumulate any moochers, so we’ll see them again in 6 months!
