I haven't had one from my recent acquisition, but I did have one a couple months back when Pete gave me one at an event. Good smoke, a lot like the mini mum except it lacked the pepper of the mini.

Thanks guys! Just a frank box, special Pete babyface card, and couple random swag items to have essentially the whole dress collection. Even people who hate tobacco in all forms complement how nice the boxes look. Great work Pete!
Got a call from the owner of the shop I went to. He said they were in and to give him a call back if I'm interested. Just got off the phone with him. Paid for and am picking up on Sunday or Monday. :-D He told me again that he didn't have any dress boxes, just the regular ones.
Love the picture! Please post your thoughts after you smoke it if you could.
Just saw a box of these on eBay for $400 bucks!!
had a couple of these so far and first off I think they're great! They are a little different then I expected. Similar to the min-mum obviously but I thought they would be a bit stronger. I was expecting full strength stick, but this is a definite medium, with tons of flavor. The main flavors I picked out where of leather, cocoa, cedar, light pepper but moreso right off the bat. There was also a nice earthy flavor and some other spices? flavors that I can't quite identify but it's a very pleasant smoke. I mentioned it's medium strength and think this might be trouble because as soon as I finished my last stick, I wanted to fire another up another, and I could see myself going through these way too quickly.
I do have a question for anyone else that grabs these: atleast in the dress box, when you open up the wax paper around the sticks, the center stick in the bundle is individually wrapped... why? Is there something special about that stick or am I just over thinking nothing?
My guess would be that the individually wrapped stick is 'the mummy' and all the other sticks are his personal possessions that are buried in the sarcophagus with him... Idk... Haha just a guess.
A lot of bundles will have the center stick wrapped in wax paper. From my understanding, it's so you can pull that one out first without damaging the wrapper of it or the cigars around it. Once that one is out, the bundle loosens up so you don't have to worry about damaging the rest. Being that this was a dress box, and not a cab, he probably did it more for the gimick's sake than anything.

Thanks for your review/imput...I hope with it's medium profile it doesn't loose something over time.
My guess is the idea of a mummy being wrapped inside a coffen.
I think this sounds like the correct answer. Pete would have said something if the cigar itself is different.
