Makers Mark Cigars

I got a free sample from some site (don't remember where) when they started selling them 6 or more months ago. I wasn't too impressed with the quality of the tobacco or the construction, so I wonder if the consistency is off. I do agree that the flavor is subtle, but the one that I had had a damaged foot before I even took it out of the glass tube, the draw was really tight, and I had it split and unravel on me while I smoked it. This one was corona size, the larger ones might be better off.

Possibly they were stored long term with no humidification? I think some poeple think that since they are in tubes, they will be fine with none for years.

The ones I smoked were years and years ago, so certainly the quality could have gone south over the years.

Don't know, they were stored with humidification from the time I received them. The retailer had just started carrying them too, so I don't think they sat too long there. This was within the last year, so I think they were fairly new stock, unless the manufacturer was cleaning out their warehouse.
