Here is my review on the 880's. This is a very good cigar and with the 80 ring guage, it is a blast to smoke! From start to finish, the cigar had a beautiful draw and a perfect burn and ash. The first 10-13 minutes, I thought the cigar was very strong which I was not a huge fan of, but after that, the cigar settled down and was more of a medium smoke. But then again at the end, it started getting stronger again. Don't think because of its size that this is a novelty cigar. It is not. It really is a great smoke, just stronger than I like at the beginning and the end. Will I purchase them again, yes at somepoint I will but would rather spend my money on the JFR 770. THAT cigar I give a perfect 5 stars! And the 770 is awesome with bourbon/whiskey!
