NOT how they normally look. Despite my own personal affinity for cigars that look like they've been properly throttled..

So what did you think? Not only the 2020 COTY.. but the highest-rated COTY ever (98pts).

Although it looked like hammered dog shit, it actually smoked very well and had some decent notes. COTY worthy I’m not sure…
