I think these went through a little sick period. I smoked one the other day and it was very, very good. I enjoyed it thoroughly. I'm smoking a Drac right now and it has also really turned around. I'm nearly done and lovin' it.

I got one of those through the NST thanks to Nick (Montano). I can't wait to smoke it. Might just let her RIP for one more year and smoke her next Halloween. Must have been a great smoke!

Tom, I enjoyed a couple very fresh. My experience with them after that was not so pleasant.

Default Re: The Face a Year Later

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

Smoking one now, courtesy of Benedic. A bit mild and one dimensional.

I've only smoked one and thought it was very mild and nearly flavorless. Glad it was a gift.

I enjoyed the one I smoked a lot. Damn thing just lasted forever. I'll agree it was rather one dimensional, but I really enjoyed the flavors

Mine was not one dimensional at all, the flavors were amazing and evolved throughout the cigar. I love it.

if you couldn't tell.

tonight is the perfect night for one. They are amazing with 1 year on them. Just wish I had more so I could see what they are like with 2, 3, or 4 years on them.

I would have to agree, quite an accurate review. These really came into their own over the past year... there was something that just seemed to mesh perfectly this time around (and I liked them to begin with!)

I wasn't impressed at all with them fresh. I have one left, I will try to get to it sometime this month.
