Few weeks ago I had a chance to stop in their store I was rushed grab a bunch of sticks and left. Once home I realized the stores humidor wasn't keeping up with the heat which is understandable during Chicago winter. The cigars were way to dry, the pigtail cap broke off one, they crackled when rolled between thumb and fore finger. I tried to bring them back slowly at 65% they feel about right no more noticeable dryness.
This cigar has a Noticeable curvature it is not straight, it also has hard spots. Sure enough once lit the draw is way to tight. Waste of money
but mostly this is my own fault I should have paid more attention, what I've heard about these I expected more and better.

Just smoked the same cigar myself. I found it a bit bitter on my palate.
Rodrigo fortaleza elegante.
No bitterness at all for me, tossed it with about an inch nub. Stayed a leathery/earthy/sweet flavor with barely any pepper of any kind at all after the first inch or so. Really enjoyed it, although it didn't transition much.

Jericho Hill OBS with a Wiseacre Brewing "Gotta Get Up To Get Down" for now.
Great smoke! First Jericho Hill and one of my favorite cigars I've had so far! I can't wait to try the LBV and 44S out of the sampler now.
