I like them. Worth the money? That is hard to say. I like them so they are worth the money to me, but I still only induldge myself these rarely. I have never had one that wasn't very, very well constructed. The word consistency comes to mind in both construction and taste. I like them even more at CBid prices which are about half my local shop.
The non-red dots are (I assume) ISOMs, and are fuller flavored than red dots, so you might want give the Extra Veijo red dots a try. They might be a bit closer in taste.
