Arturo Fuente - Don Carlos Belicoso NT

This was the original Arturo Fuente cigar that I fell in love with.  I chose it completely by name alone, "Don Carlos" -- maybe I've watched too many episodes of Breaking Bad, but I get the impression that you don't want to mess with Don Carlos, nor have his cigar be anything less than perfect.

I'm glad to say that this is one where the book cover matched the contents.  This is smooooth, extra o's intentional. 

This one too had some burn problems I tried touching up a little, but it then developed a big split that ran all the way up to the band.  It smoked fine, and it's so smooth this isn't a deal breaker - but something needs to be considered here, this was a well made cigar stored in what I thought was the right fashion.

It's been in my tupperdor at consistent humidity for well over two weeks.  I looked into it and I think keeping them at 69 rh might be a bit high, and I am going to start 'dry boxing' before smoking these, anything I'm planning on taking a closer look at I'll store in an empty cigar box (unhumidified) overnight.  I suppose experimenting with the perfect amount of box-time is in order...
