also, monte christos also sometimes suffer from wet spots, but 95% of them are good.
If you continue smoking cigars, even if just a couple times a year, I suggest you invest in a small humidor.
and in stead of beer, I suggest burbon.
to make the experience even more pleasant, don't smoke alone, or with 4chan. smoke with other people. that's the whole point of a cigar. it forces people to slow down, unwind, maybe get creative, loosely brainstorm, calmly do business, chew the fat, etc.
but for a first pick, it's not bad. just, try to avoid the plastic wrapper, and get it from a real cigar shop with a controlled atmosphere next time. it's worth it.
