One thing I talked about at the B&M last night was how much better they are at the end than the first inch or so. Not uncommon in cigars in general, but these are not good initially, then good, then quite good, as opposed to pretty good/better/best.
Someone guessed that they are using short filler at the foot, and the long filler comes in later. No idea if that's true or even possible?
I do believe that the several Caballeros I smoked in the initial shipment from April were better than the one from the box that arrived this week. Have not tried the bigger sizes, since this little guy is quite the asskicker, strength wise.
