As always this box arrived in perfect condition in an airtight plastic bag wrapped in bubble wrap in a well sealed cardboard box This is a fantastic thin and eliminate cigar that can last over an hour, with often a leather start becoming sweet woody cuban spice, starting light and never getting past medium. I've found it needs to have a relatively high humanity of 65-7 or can go out which is true but odd given that its wetter than 62-5 which was the case with the first few I tried of this cigar before buying a box... I know other smokers often smoke at the lower humidity too, but this seems to likes it wetter... enjoy this excellent value cigar form breakfast throughout the day to suit yourself and mood...
