By Gurhka.

Has anyone tried these... Are they really that good. Someone just bid them up to almost $10 /cigar. I would be interested in hearing from any one who has actually tried these. At this point we're getting into premium fuente, PAM price range..... Are they worth it???

I have had a couple. I really enjoy them. Great taste, little aftertaste. I wish I could give you a more in-depth review but I am still learning how to judge cigars and note tastes.

I recently bought a 3pk on here and I think I paid something like $15/ stick. I think it was well worth it.

If you want to trade for something, I could let one slide...

I am very skeptical that there is any significant quantity of Cuban tobacco in these cigars. The former publisher of Cigar Nexus, reportedly, dissected one and found no Cuban tobacco.

Any cigar is worth its enjoyment for you, regardless of where it was rolled or the source country of the tobacco.

I've smoked a few of these and find them excellent. Yes they're a little pricey (I even paid $25.00 for my 1st one from CI's retail store. It was Matt's fault). They're medium bodied with a rich no nonsense tobacco taste.

I have had these. They are a decent mild cigar. Much better smokes out there for the money,including real Habanos. X
