Has anyone tried these yet? All I know is that they are full-bodied dominicans, aromatically flavored with maker's mark bourbon. The idea seems interesting, but is it a novelty worth the ten beans? Any comments are welcome. Thanks, Peter

Tried one many moons ago. They look and smell real good, very enticing. However, the draw is like sucking a marble through a staw and the taste is somewhat sub par.....but you must try one to be your own judge. The price however literally sucks....paid about $10 for a stick....not worth even $2 to me.

I had some 2 years ago. Prices were pretty good in Louisville. I thought they were damned fine, much better than your usual 'bourbon' (or other 'spirited' cigars) smokes. however, the last ones I had (maybe a year or so ago) were priced twice as much, maybe $6-8, and a bit tight in construction. I am glad I still have a small stash with $3 price tags, sealed in wax!

Opinions are like noses, everybody has one and they are all different, right? Well, IMHO, this is the worst cigar I have ever tasted. I smoked about 1.5" and let it die. Very nasty to me. My wife bought it. I am not a big fan of flavored smokes anyway.

Thanks for the advice. I think I'll put the money towards a bottle instead.

Here is a money saving tip. Take a glass of Makers Mark dip a Swisher Sweet in it. Throw away glass and cigar and smoke celo wrapper from Swisher.
