Also, $10.50 is about 20% over MSRP.

I'm good...
Perhaps tobacco tax was included in that sticker price. I know additional taxes were added at register but I'm not a remembering how much.

These 888's are getting better and better. Although this one had an ash that just kept flowering everywhere. It was guuuud.

I have one in my humidor. May I ask what was wrong with it - flavor, draw, construction?
Maybe it's like becoming one with the cigar. You lose yourself in it; everything fades away: your worries, your problems, your thoughts. They fade into the smoke, and the cigar and you are at peace. - Raul Julia

I had a lancero that was pretty good. Sorry to hear this one was not.

Construction was good and the draw was only slightly tight. However, the flavor left me scratching my head. One of those cigars that are strong just for strong's sake. Not harsh, and not a nicotine bomb, just...full of strongness? It's hard to say. There was a lot of body and fullness on the palate, and a little spice on the retro, but nothing noteworthy.

Closing out Easter Sunday with a Melanio Petit Corona. A beautiful day deserves a beautiful cigar!

Having a quartet of nasty looking, no binder or wrapper, single leaf (mostly) "study sticks." The Nic seco was very enjoyable, the corojo viso was less so. The other two? We shall see...
