Sancho Panza Double Maduro... great first box

So my first box purchase was the Sancho Panza Double Maduro in the La Mancha size. I like RGs just under 50 so these Petit Coronas fit the bill. I purchased them for a friend's commissioning party (he commissioned last week as a 2Lt in the U.S. Army, going Armor). Anyway, I brought the leftovers home with me for the summer. I had one this evening while sitting out in front of the house sipping on a Sierra Nevada Summerfest (also not a bad brew if you're into the light, fruity summer style--which I'm usually not). The point of the thread is that the SP Double Maduro is a hell of a value. This tasted like a $5 stick at least, maybe even more. I was very pleasantly surprised and I'll be coming back to this again and again before I head away to OCS in a month. I bet I'll kill the rest of this box before then, quite the feat when you consider I usually only smoke 1 per week tops.

So, just wanted to give a

to the SP Double Maduro. Best value smoke I've come across yet.

On a side note though, anyone else have construction issues with these? Mine were smoked right out of the humi which was in the upper 60s (right around 67%). I've had 2 (of 3) of these SPDMs start unravelling at the head after cutting. They were delicious, but it got annoying when I took the band off and the cigar practically exploded on me. I'm not gentle on cigars, but I didn't drop it or anything like that. Similar experiences? I'd like to point out though that the Construction didn't take much away from the smoke at all... still well worth it.
