Great review. I've really enjoyed everything I've tried from AB and I'm pretty sure I have one of those sitting in my humidor. Really looking forward to lighting it up now.

Thanks for the review! I heard they the flat heads are strong? Did it live up to it?

Love your reviews Puff, keep it up.

Chemnitz

Yes, nice review. After reading I went and looked at the one you sent me and I agree - absolutely 'very cool packaging'. Beautiful little stick. Can't wait to light it up. Thanks again, Puff.

Being in the spark plug sellin' business, I need to get some of these! Thanks for the review!

Great smoke!! They have them around me since it's not close enough to island Jim to affect his sales. The corojo is the best in the line

Beaker38

That is one of my favorite cigars

I tried one of these the other night courtesy of Beaker38. I too was surprised. I completely expected it to be a very mild bodied cigar, but struck me as mild-medium leaning towards medium at times. Excited to revisit these once they have a little age on them.

First and last one I'll ever buy. That is all.

I got one from one of my COTM clubs. It's been sitting, double bagged with a Boveda since. The smell just kinda threw me off. Now I feel certain my suspicions were legit.

The blend is very meaty... kinda like smoking a Slim Jim. I did not find it a pleasant experience at all. And to prolong the disappointment, the draw was so tight that it took three times as long to smoke it. I gave up and tossed it after the second third. Should have done it sooner, but I hate throwing away a cigar I paid good money for.

This stick IMHO was a DE failure, out of the fire cured tobacco sticks out there it's not good at all ..... I truly was let down and disappointed.

No appeal to me at all, although I did enjoy the Leccia Black. It was a cigar, not a fire-cured showcase.

I guess I'm strange bc I kinda like it. It's not my favorite by any means but I kinda liked that charred smoky taste. I did however like it better in the Chunky (corona) size.

ejgorman

Trying mine now and it's not as bad as I expected. Maybe I got a good (bad) one. Despite the smell, the smokey flavor is not overpowering. Not my favorite by any means, but when the bar is set so low it wasn't disappointing.

Definitely box-worthy in my opinion!

Great review Doug. I smoked one of these last week and loved it. Flavors all over the place and maybe the best ash I have ever seen. Smoked it on a V-Herf and had about a 4 inch white ash and I wasn't babying it.

Chuck N

Yep, this one is excellent. It should be mentioned in the top cigars of the year thread.
