They are beautiful to look at, until you notice the dye on your fingers, lips and ashtray!!!
A real POS.

oh SH*t, I ordered some too. F it I'll smoke em.
I'll just double up on the Bacardi 151.

As far as turning your lips blue, when I smoke outside at 5 degrees, my lips are blue anyway.

Now they'll go well with the burnt smell of melting gloves.

Actually --
The flavor is not bad, for all the tough comments here. The C-bid guys say it is not dye at all but from the curing of the wrapper. I just washed my hands after smoking and was fine. rjdc -- don't trash em until you try em! I have smoked lots of cigars from here that looked great, burned well and had either no taste or a bad one. These are up the list a long ways from some! jmnsho, of course!

Well we'll see. As far as colour coming off on our hands and lips, I like Santa Rosas mads. So it won't bother me.

I tried one of these for the first time last night. Have to take a slightly contrarian view from most of the sentiments expressed thus far. While not a great smoke, neither was it a bad cigar. I've had much worse. It actually had some flavor too, unlike the Lone Wolfs, et. al. I found it to be a somewhat pleasant oddity whose bad rap has been overstated. Yes, it does leave a very slight black smudge on the fingers, but it was hardly like fingerpainting. No big deal. While you can do much, much better, I don't think this one belongs in the bury-it-in-the-backyard category.

I tried em. Looked much better than they smoked. But, they did have decent flavor in comparison to
other sh***ier smokes I've had.
