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 .
