Calle Ocho Sumatra? Opinions?

I have not had one yet, seems opinions are one end of the other on these, people love them or not at all. I have not seen these at the B&Ms, maybe a CI only thing?

They're dogsh!t when they arrive. Soaking wet, gross, and unsmokable.
My guess is the people saying they are unsmokable are the ones smoking them ROTT. Properly taken care of, they're a good cigar. I haven't shared one with a single person that hasn't enjoyed them, myself included.

Ahhh, good point here. I always rest a smoke at least a few weeks before calling it bad. I suspect a lot of people have not learned this yet, it's their loss. Hey, if anyone has any cigars you think are bad you can send them to me for verification but be warned it might take a few years for some of them.....
