Got this stick in a bomb.

Humidor time: 1 month

Prelight: Nice construction, oily wrapper, and pretty heavy in the hand. Prelight draw is a little tight, tasting of bittersweet chocolate.

Burn: This stick would not burn straight. It seemed like I was touching it up every 5 minutes. If it hadn't tasted so good, I probably would have pitched it.

Flavor: Flavor was excellent, mainly bittersweet chocolate with a hint of coffee, and a nice amount of spice on the finish.

Summary: I just got a couple more of these in a sampler, but I'll be watching cbid for a deal on them in the meantime. A month at 60-65% didn't seem to help the burn on this stick, but they taste so good I'll live with the touchups.
