Love the Lure Corojo and I’ve had good experiences with the Habano but unfortunately, can’t say the same for this Mean Jean. Could have been a one off but the cigar was extremely harsh. Made my mouth dry and just coated the back of my throat with harshness. Had to put it down as I was getting into the second third.
