Sorry you got a bad one Gerard. I've stayed with their XO line for the most part, but the Domaine has also treated me well. I really dig the XO tubos and recommend them all the time--might be a bit on the mild side though.

If I had to guess, I think the "dud" part of this smoke had to be the wrapper. The bitterness was strong mostly on my lips and not so much from the smoke, if that makes sense--I even picked it up on the prelight draw. Never encountered anything like this before, so I just thought that it would resolve at one point or another. It didn't.

It's not really fair to give a cigar like this such a poor review after only one stick that happened to be a dud. After years of smoking and hundreds of sticks, it was just such a new experience that I thought I'd share
