I was unimpressed. And disappointed. I bought into the CI rhetoric without applying my BS filters. As I said eleswhere on these: If you read between the lines, I think what the ad copy really says is, "Mr. Carillo made some cigars that he thought were sort of sucky and wasn't going to put his name on 'em. But we paid him enough that he allowed us to buy them all and be exclusive retailer. He knows that if it is a big-box 'exclusive' nobody will care too much if they aren't as good as their 'real' Short Run stuff."

I'll let 'em sit a while, but it sounds like they're already aged so I don't expect them to improve any. Very unimpressive. IMHO, anyway.
I'd be glad to send you each one to review. PM me a snailer.
