Finished today with a fifth cigar. My personal record! A Fuente chateau maduro.

Gran Habano - Azteca Fuerte
It started off great. There was a lot of fresh brewed coffee and chocolate. A nice spice popped in and out with a pepper backer. Then at the beginning of the second third things went as bad as possible. The wrapper separated from the filler around half of the cigar. Then the ash fell and there was a hollow spot almost big enough to put the tip of my pinky in. The hollow area ran back at least a 1/2". The cigar was tunneling bad and there wasn't really much hope of saving it. A sad ending to a very promising cheap cigar.

Tunneling just an issue with humidity. Let it sit for a few months. I've seen the GH Vintages come around very nicely after a few months.

As crazy as it might sound I plan on buying another one. It may have been an issue of transferring it from 69f and 69% rh to 20f and 40% rh.The hollow spot was disconcerting. It may have been an anomaly though.

IF they have consistently good construction, I will buy a bundle. In my honest opinion if you put a boutique band on these they could go for triple the price and be called a bargain.
