Well been thinking about trying one but could never find singles local or online so I gave in and bought a 5 pack and glad I did . Not because I fell in love with these but cause I can't make up my mind if I like them or not ! First light up was different for sure then thought don't think I am going to finish it then it got nice "THEN" it seemed to change and slip back to the not sure area if I am liking this . About time was ready to put it down it got nice again . It kept me hanging on going back and forth and when got finished I still wasn't sure if could say I like or dislike it . I got 4 more to try out to decide . The smokey flavor is really , really not what expected . Had of course heard of the reviews but like we all know what one person taste or smell from the aroma can be opposite from the next person .

Lol.

Enjoyable review, mainly due to the switching from "like" to "not sure", and your dilemma. Been there many times, so I can totally relate.
Thanks for sharing.

We have a lot of people who smoke a lot of unique or generally unknown cigars, here and I wish more members did reviews, even if it's just a paragraph like yours.

You dont have to be an expert or seasoned reviewer. I'm certainly not, but whenever I posted reviews here they seemed well received for the information on something different than what most people smoked.

I still dont think I'm a good reviewer, yet have been made the staff reviewer for the homepage of Cigar Weekly Magazine (online, not print). Guess I must be doing something right.

I friggin love cigars

Now the next question what does some rest do to them?

Now the next question what does some rest do to them?An excellent question. I have noticed a dramatic difference in a few cigars after only 6 months rest at a stable temperature and rh.

It certainly can work wonders even in such a relatively short period of time

That has crossed my mind . I plan to try one more and then sit on the rest for awhile and see what that does .

The KFC are something I really enjoy from time to time, but I need to be in the mood. Goes great with a campfire.
If you really want to throw another twist, try for a KFC MUWAT Swamp Thang or Rat. KFC with a Candela wrapper.

The Swamp Thang ponies cigarillos have been a staple of mine when I needed a short, lunch break smoke.

That might really make you vacillate if you like it or not.

Another twist , although perhaps no longer available, is the KFC Swamp Thang Sweets.

I recently had a cigar with KFC filler, and I'm thinking about grabbing a few of the Drew Estate KFC for the summer. If you end up not liking the next, let's work out a trade.

I may check and see also if they got one of those variety packs to try . I like doing that to sometimes with cigars especially now when it's hard to just order singles and your stuck with a 5 pack or full box . Hind sight is always 20/20 !!!!

With the wife out of town and I didn't have lunch cause stayed busy working cleaning up from a tornado a month ago I had a early supper then little later decided to try another Kentucky Fire Cured smoke . Been only couple weeks but it did help it . Seemed alot smoother and even tasting . Still a odd tasting cigar . Maybe the first one being right out of the box needed to time to settle in from being shipped . Did enjoy it , still not sure if will order more but got 3 more to try and am courious what even more time will effect them . Going to wait another 2 weeks at least maybe 4 weeks if can make myself be patient enough .

I have bought from Fox and Niceash quite a lot but will look into the others you suggested . Got a few items on backorder at NiceAsh right now and few of my regular cigars Fox always had a good price on . Like many of us will be soooo glad when the cigar makers get caught up and get stuff back on shelves again .

Got one out this evening . Thought had been longer since first tried one . The rest time had greatly helped even more now . Doesn't have as much that bbq wang if that makes since . Was pretty even smoke all the way thru . Still a bit odd or least different . Before was up and down from getting hit with to strong of the "fire cured" to not much at all . I must say I enjoyed it this time sitting back taking it in . I am not sure if will keep some stocked up but if do I know to put them back for several months now . Got one maybe two more left . When pulling this one out I was feeling like be prepared to get popped with a shot of over powering part but it never happened . Next time it will be with a sence of looking forward to a cigar that is not like most I smoke but will be a nice hour spent enjoying the moment of a nice cigar .

Well been 7 months and got another one out this evening and again only thing can add if you get a few of these and first one is a bit to strong or to woodsy and not to your liking put the others back and wait . The time they sit will calm them down greatly . The fire cure taste they call it softens up . It's definitely there but not overwhelming anymore . It's there but a lot more enjoyable . Got few more left and won't wait as long as have since last one to get another one out .
