They are that bad? Actually, Felipe Gregorio has made some pretty decent smokes, the Sinatra, for example. I don't care what others think, but I really like the Sinatra because it is extremely well constructed, draws easily, burns even and tastes pretty good. It's just a damn pretty cigar when it burns, with the black ring around the coal and the dark gray ash. Then, of course, we also have the nasty Wall Street ... stinky-winky!
