Disclaimer: I've only smoked two of them but really enjoyed both.

Agreed...I picked up a box of #4's when CI had a special for under 30 bucks (shipping included )

Jeff is it just me or do you find the first inch of these to be rough around the edges? That first inch kinda irritates the back of my through a little after that though shes smooth sailing

I don't remember noticing a roughness with the two that I've smoked. They were the #4 size, but since you brought up the question I fired up another one. This one is the Belicoso size, and it did seem a little harsh at first but has now smooth out and is smoking great.
If I were to order more I think I would get the smaller #4 size.

I have noticed the #4's being a bit harsh when smoked hot; and the first few inches can be too hot unless you do the whole anal retentive lighting ritual.
If you are like me, I burn the hell out of the foot and then draw while torching it more.. While this can make a cigar rough around the edges for the first inch, it also makes burn issues much less likely.. Leoninos rock for the money reguardless..
