In my opinion and the opinion of my eyes and tongue/palate, they seem to have taken a huge nosedive in quality since the Swisher buyout. Also, they used to be hard to find, now they're easily available everywhere. Hmmm.
A pal of mine bought some online recently, got the shipment, saw the overall construction and what the wrappers looked like and immediately called the vendor and yelled at them for selling fakes, but no, they were "real" ones, or at least, what the "real" ones are like nowadays. He was very much not pleased and immediately returned them.
Needless to say, neither of us are buying any more of them, especially when the prices have actually gone UP!
