The 1st I had about 2 weeks after I received my box split on me to the point where I got pissed and chucked it. The 2nd one a few months later did the same. I waited till this August to smoke the 3rd and it was extremely tight. The 4th one I smoked yesterday and it was a really good cigar, too bad I had to smoke through 1/3rd of the box to find one I enjoyed. Still not worth the chase and what I paid
