The rest are deep in the back of my humidor, they were so bad I would have felt bad trading or selling them off. I'll try to dig one out in the next few weeks to see if mine have improved as well. Same for me. The few I had sampled early on let me abstain from buying. Had nothing to offer for me, and I didn’t see anything promising there, either. But keeping my fingers crossed that yours will eventually come around, like Raskol’s obviously did! An early review here. Confirmed by follow-ups. 2

An early review here. Confirmed by follow-ups. I went back and reread the two reviews I did and one echo's your review. Poor construction and very little going on flavor wise. The very first one I smoked (2nd link) was glowing. Unfortunately it was all down hill from there. Age wont fix the construction problems, but hopefully it helps with the flavor. 1

Sure was! It looked real rough to not only play out there but to be a spectator. The wind is bitter, brutal, and bites back.

I agree.. The first few years was not agreeing to my taste buds.. Especially after mid way... Where it really goes astray... A second chance should be given.. Hope yours smoke wonderfully! Cheers 4
