The issue is does it have something to offer when the pepper fades. If no then the stick will be pretty boring when the spice fades in the first year. This stick does have more then just the spice to offer.

Don't take it the wrong way I just split a box with someone yesterday. I would put it in my personal top 3 NCs of 2011. That's based on my smoking profile though. I really enjoyed the one I had Friday. Burnt my fingers. They have some legs. The spice has faded, but there aee some other nice profiles to the stick for me.

I am finding Pete has become a real force to be reckoned with, this cigars is fantastic, but even down to the white labels Tat has become one of my regular smokes. I even find myself recommending his sticks over Pepins (who's stick have been the guns I stuck by for the longest) at my B+M.

Thanks for the review; EricF sent me one of these. I'm still waiting for that special occasion, but from the review and comments sounds like it is going to be a good one.

Lit up one of these yesterday and I guess I am in the minority here. I was a little disappointed with this stick. The first third was very "blah", while the second third picked up some strength and some great flavors, only for the final third was very much like the first third. Keeping my fingers crossed that I got a "bum stick" and will enjoy the others I have.

Just send em' to me Mac I don't have the experienced palate like you, so I am sure I will enjoy them.

Lots of folks continue to report a lot of spice, I got very little, considering the hype. That obviously didn't bother me since the cigar tons of other rich flavors. Need to revisit within next few weeks to see where it stands.

Didn't get much spice here.

Box split arrived today. Had one over weekend. Not spicey really, but very good. Glad I split a box.
