Well at least someone reads these things!!!! Yeah it's a good cigar. Been contemplating on ordering another box but yet I feel that 280 bones is a bit much for another 10. I was hoping on getting a couple of other boxes... Oh the decisions...
This is one of the few review threads I read consistently and trust. The price is a bit steep. I'd say go with variety and save these for those special occasion smokes and let them age a bit to see how they develop.

I am planning on smoking maybe 1 a year on a special occassion.

Wow, well I hope I don't let ya down!
I trust your judgement. I've found we have similar enough tastes that I can say I'd probably really enjoy these. Thanks for the reviews.
Hmm interesting take. I'm starting to wonder if maybe the Black and Red tubos just suffer from construction issues. I've smoked only one Red, but aside from a couple minor corrective burns, it performed admirably and I encountered no harshness until I got to the nub, which isn't uncommon at all. I'm going to have another Red tonight, and I'll post back and see how it holds up against my experience with the first one.
I just picked one up and got the red since it seemed to be the harder one to get. Will let you know how it is when I light it up. Will try to make it soon. Really anxious to try this one.
I've had a couple of each of these and have found that they do suffer from some construction issues. I did let a red tubo rest outside of the tube for about 7 weeks and it was easily the best performer of the bunch, no real need to touch up. They all still had great flavor. I'm hoping that just a little extra rest will do these some good. Maybe pete pushed these a little too quickly out the doors.
The owner of my local shop said Pete told him there was some kind of issue with these and they needed some rest before they are ready to smoke. Not sure what the issues are exactly, but he wasn't happy at all about it.
I'm not quite sure what to think now. I had a Verocu tonight and was a more than a bit let down. Basically it just didn't smoke right, it burned hot the whole way and I struggled to get any smoke out of it, because of that the flavors were off. On the whole, I'm really feeling like I bought a sub-standard product in the Black and Red tubos, I don't consider either one of these to be worth the money and quite frankly I wish I had just bought a couple singles of each instead of boxes. Looks like I'm not touching the remaining cigars for several, like 6+, months.

I enjoyed the blacks, but yeah, 6+ for the reds for me too.
