Default Re: Thoughts on 777 by Jesus Fuego?

Just smoked a J. Fuego 777 Maduro Toro I got in a Maduro sampler. The flavor was good, creamy and smooth, but the construction was dismal. The first two inches of wrapper was flaking away from the binder. The draw was too open and I didn't get ample smoke until I got past the flakey part at which point the cigar began to tunnel for around 2 inches. I noticed a thick stem had been rolled into the blend as well. I didn't give up and did enjoy the full flavors which stayed about the same through the entire cigar. I've got another one that looks like it will do better, but I have a feeling that construction flaws turn up often with this cigar. It's a cheapie smoke for everday, but there are better constructed out there at or below the price like the Sancho Panza Double Maduro.
