They have great potential, but my biggest regret with the $$$ was getting impatient and smoking too soon after delivery. Needed to acclimate in order to loosen up a bit.
With the exception of an impulse purchase of some of the lanceros (2014?) that a vendor "found" a month or so ago, patience and being on a bunch of email lists has gotten me Goldies at great discounts later in the year.
Definitely keep your eyes open for the Illumination line coming out this year. A "Goldie with more ligero" without the dedicated roller....so prices are almost half. Smoked a sample 2 weeks ago and it was pretty great.
