so I got my Armadas from the COTM deal and one of them is a different ring gauge than the others... they are all supposed to be 6.5x56 but one almost feels like a 60... it is clearly thicker than the other 2... anyone else notice anything like this?

    molds for cigars are made at different times by different people. there is almost always a bit of variation in them making some rings look bigger or smaller than what the catalog says.
    usually it isnt much more than 2 in either direction...

    The Warchest has Maduro's, not Armada's. They are a different blend and wrapper.

    I had one last night...it had ample rest and it did AMPLE damage. That stik was nice! It kicked a bit too--toward the end. It was a lot fuller bodied than I had anticipated. A very nice smoke.

    Haven't these only been available for like a month? How did it have AMPLE rest?
