CFed Hot Cocoa & Marshmallows. Next to the Macanudo Cafe, this is one of the worst cigars I've ever had. Gimme a Garcia y Vega Candela please. Or even a Phillies for that matter.

Was it ROTT? I tried one the day after it arrived and it was less than impressive. But had another after a couple weeks and it was delicious.

Just got my order this morning and lit it up. I'm not sure how much aging would do, but maybe I should've let it sit for a while. Except for some cedar notes, pretty bland. No sweetness, cocoa, or marshmallow. I had to relight it probably 5 times too.

I wonder if they ship them super wet. I had burn issues too on the first one. Might be worth another look...the one I had later was much different. Here's hoping!

Much appreciation to @BloodWood for this tasty treat. It is named approximately! Earthy pepper and a little oak smoke.

Part of the Cbid sampler I always complain about. The thing will not stay lit. If you puff like you're sucking a frosty through a cocktail swizzle stick every thirty seconds, maybe. Six months of rest haven't fixed the problems.

Unfortunately, many vendors store their cigars at a pretty high rh for some reason, and often when they ship them, they use a simple humidifier pack that purs out high rh too.

The few I use most of the time, for nc's and cc's, are all pretty good though. They are never too over humidified and totally smokable rott without problems

I think your Cbid sampler and my Ashton Maduros should get together and go bowling.

Extremely tasty and perfect draw, and nice appearance with only 1 thin vein and nearly invisible seams.

Unfortunately, poor construction as the wrapper peeled badly and the burn remained off the entire length inspite of multiple correction attempts.

Expected better for the price, but at least it was extremely good tasting.

Hopefully the second one does better

Definitely happens sometimes from various factories
