Cheers Krist arrived safe and sound....smells great...so first time I've received the band....when do we normally open it? After smoking it or after the reveal?

I would guess that after the reveal Sham. But have to admit, I was tempted to open it straight away
Me too.....I think I'll open it when I've written down my guess...will work well as I'm going to a wedding this Friday and may take this to smoke in between. So can leave the band behind.
The COTM was on the hallway floor when I got home on Tuesday. I stuck it in the humidor & forgot about it until this evening. I had a reshuffle & there it was waiting to be smoked so I did. It was well filled with a smooth & delicate wrapper, classic Cuban looks. Mine was blessed with more leaf in the 1st half. 10mm punch & the draw was just right and extremely mild flavoured. Lit up with a cheap jet from Zante I got free with 4 cartons of B&H silver and took a puff. The flavour was very mild and creamy, a sophisticated daytime sort of cigar in my opinion. Well suited to the velvety dry red wine I am drinking. Now into the second half and the power is building. I guess it's a JL2. When I finish I'm going to dig the Jiffy bag out the bin to find the band. Thanks [MENTION=13434515]Krist[/MENTION]
Just smoked mine, I've a pretty good idea what it is, as I've tried several in various violas and never really found them to be to my taste, but I won't spoil it for everyone else.
