I am sorry to say I was let down by this stick! I came back from a busy weekend and settled down in a comfy chair, poured myself a large glass of Takamaka Rum, and settled down for a good smoke! It all started well, the cigar toasted well, burnt evenly, and tasted wonderful. Sweet smoke medium strength with coffee and peppery tones, this worked beautify with the Rum. Then it happened, the wrapper started to delaminate, just a little at first but after about 10 minutes it became unsmokable! Before anyone thinks it had dried out, I keep all my cigars in a humidor, controlled at around 70% humidity, and I have not had one dry out yet!! I will probably try another as it started so well, but will buy from a different source.
