want to love 'em...still think they can be worthy of praise...

Cigar Reviewed: Ark of the Covenant (gordo) 4.5"x60

but my 5th stick and it's the third one that came unraveled.

Pre-smoke puros maintained for months, after receipt, in well managed humidor but the construction or maybe the batch of wrappers I got were sub par. Before the 1/2 way mark it becomes arduous to smoke and the undeniable deliciousness gets overshadowed by wrestling match with the cigars' wrapper.

The nutty hints under the primary natural tobacco flavor are worthy of the effort…but not the wasted remnants & money that results.

P.S. I did not have the same issue with the Ave Maria Reconquistas that I purchased/have...in the same humidor.
