Mike and Shawn, except with Ed instead of Shawn: La Estrella Cubana

YEah, I concur so far. This is perfect cigar weather right now.

But, so far, this cigar's just not doing it for me. This is probably the first time I've had to say that on here. It looks and feels like quite a nice cigar, but so far it's just ... bland. Surprisingly bland. Perhaps it's all the spicy food I had earlier? Not likely.

It's got a good draw, good smoke, it just tastes, um.. kind of like ... not much of anything.

Nice, even, slow burn so far, though. 25 mins in, and it is only about 1/3 through.

Moving onto the second third after about 35 minutes. The draw has tightened up a bit from the beginning and the sharp burn continues with a light gray ash. Still searching for that elusive flavor.

I wonder if this might be a side effect of storage that's too dry? Is that even a possibility?
