I'm a big AJ fan, have lots of his cigars, smoked lots of his cigars, like almost everything he puts out.
Bought a box of these about 17 months ago, and last month I started smoking a few (three thus far).
Disappointed.
One was an utter **** (acrid, poor construction, barely burned, then tunneled, etc.) The other two? Meh...........leather, leather, and more leather, and that's about it as far as flavor.............smoke output seemed a bit week considering the vitola......................more meh.
(It's not my storage, etc.,................all my cigars burn and taste fine.)
Hopefully I just got really unlucky with these first three?
Anyone else underwhelmed by these?

If you don't like them, I'll trade you for a few. I haven't tried this and have stuff of equivalent age that you might like.Send PM if interested...0

I actually enjoy this cigar. Nice medium bodied smoke with the strong flavored ruination wrapper. Give them another shot0

Are those the same figurado as the salamon? I've had 3 of them in the last year of the original and they all burned horribly and tasted like turds.0

I bought a box when they first came out and they were great, fresh. Fast forward a year or two and they were trash. I don't think time/age does them well.0

Really? Then I won't bother resting these much longer then. LOLRuss55:I bought a box when they first came out and they were great, fresh. Fast forward a year or two and they were trash. I don't think time/age does them well.0 -
oh craaap.........Russ55:I bought a box when they first came out and they were great, fresh. Fast forward a year or two and they were trash. I don't think time/age does them well.
I really hope you are wrong about this........... :-(
or......maybe, they're good "fresh", and then have that "sickness" period for a while, and then they will be great again?????
Guess I have nothing to lose......I'll try one again in a year or so.........0 -
I think that sickness period only applies to fresh rolled cigars, but I could be wrong.KingoftheCove:
