I appreciate all of the feedback. For reference sake, i went and looked at another cigar that came with it 601 Green (old band)
and the cello on it was brown too, so maybe the person that sent them to me or as you said Justin, the shop that they came
from had them in the Sun at some point. The cigar started out kind of smooth and finally picked up strength, pepper, and spice
in the final 3rd. I'm told the Blues are supposed to be full bodied throughout so maybe the exposure did something to the stick.
