I am a Cbid junkie.........pray for me as I am always lookig to "score" a honkin' good deal. I tried some of this line 6 or 7 years ago and they were crap. Ended up making an organic insecticide out of them for my tomato plants. First the official sales pitch.
Truth: Actually closer to a 70 ring gauge on the foot. Good looking blemish free wrapper and a mild pleasant aroma. The construction is soft and made me hesitate, but there was a mug of thick strong coffee that need a buddy this morning so I dove in. I clipped it off to about a 32-33 opening and checked the prelight draw. Very easy (more misgivings) the taste was something like a light hay taste, alfalfa like. I toasted the foot and started away. Buckets of thick smoke followed. A rich, slightly strong leather was the first third and then it settled into hints of wood and mild leather. Burned much cooler than I anticipated with a perfect burn and the ash hung on until I tapped it off at close to half of the 'gar. I had less than $2.00 each in these and am happy with the "bang for the buck" factor. An excellent yard 'gar or to make the wife and kids vacate area.
