Anyone ever had these? What do you think? A cameroon wrapper sounds promising, but not if it's not cured right. I've had and liked the Tamboril white, although mild. Help me out here guys :)

I'm curious as well. The last close-out that I bought (before the 5 Vegas Pantanela) was the Hamilton House Torpedos and the Ancla y Cazador coronas. Both were pretty bad. Any info on these before I bid?

Many may not agree with me but here it goes...last year a "buddy" of mine game me one of these, accept it was in a glass tube with a golf ball on top! I found it a this summer and decided to smoke it. First I can tell you that the construction was terrible. I had to handle it like rice paper. The draw was impossible, I kept clipping the end and finally I was able to get a minimal amount of smoke. Forget trying to message the plug out, the wrapper is way to delicate. Anyway, what smoke I did get was mild and not that terrible but it was really hard to tell, not enough of it. Perhaps I just got a bad one...and really bad at that. It was really unsmokeable. So, IMHO, for $17 I will buy 5 smokes I know will smoke. Sorry for the rant...one of those days.

I recently got a five pack of these and have not smoked any yet. I won't be home until tomorrow but I will smoke one tomorrow morning and let you folks know how it was.

I won a few coronas a while back. No superstar but thought was well worth the price.

Need more feedback before I decide, so far, I'm leaning more towards a no buy on these sticks. Can anyone change my mind?

$12.95 (plus shipping) for 25 sticks? If ya don't like 'em, crumble them up and fill a bowl. Call it potpouri and your misses will love it. Or give them out to your buddies who don't smoke, but rather chew on them until they become a bacteria infested saliva rag. I hate when they do that to my good smokes.

Oh well, I'm looking at this purchase as a gamble now, so I'll just pretend I was dealt a 16 at the blackjack table and it's a $15 minimum table...
