I've had one of these, rested 9 months, and loved it. I was able to manage the burn with frequent light touch-ups. Here's an excerpt from my smoking log:
Ambient conditions: 55F, 45%RH. Start is peppery on the palate - careful with retrohaling the first half inch. Very chocolaty, very rich, meaty, like drinking very rich, dark, hot chocolate. Good smoke production. Fairly ragged burn needed on-going touch-ups. When the wrapper isn't burning well, the smoke becomes thin and hollow, losing its richness. After the first third, switched to 55-sec intervals, which helped a little. Past the halfway point, it gets smoother, but remains rich and chocolaty.
