    Whoa. 7x54? Is that box like... a human size coffin or something? Massive! Was it a 50ct. box?

    Damn Oz, did you burn through that whole box already?? That lone cigar looks kinda sad in that massive box all by itself.

    great smokes, going to have to try these i saw came out > GRAN HABANO GRAN RESERVA This creation by George and Guillermo Rico consists of an 8 year old wrapper and a 7 year old binder from their Nicaraguan farm La Santa Cruz. The filler is a mixture of 7 year old Nicaraguan leaf from La Santa Cruz and 8 year old Colombian leaf from their La Joya del Valle farm. The cigars were rolled in early 2008 and have been aging for the previous three years making the overall components about a decade old, making for a very smooth and rich medium bodied cigar.

    I've been meaning to ask this question, maybe its a stupid question but what do you do with the shaggy foot? Is it clipped, or you just light it up & smoke it as usual & it burns just like normal until you reach the wrapper? I'm just curious because I haven't had a shag-foot cigar yet, & don't have any in my storage.

    The GH Corojo #5 is a fine smoke in any vitola! It'll give many of the top Corojo wrapped sticks a run, at a fraction of the cost!

    I always smoke it and you can notice the change in flavor once the flame hits the wrapper....

    That ruins the best part of a shaggy foot cigar. How often do you get a chance to taste just the fillers for a short while and then compare to the wrapper/binder/filler blend?

    To each his own. My way works for me, but I certainly won't tell you it's the only way.
