It depends on how much is bid. They are a mild to mediun cigar,not too comlex. There's lots better cigars for the money,but if the price is right,try some and see for yourself. X

I have tried these. This was my first purchase on cbid. I paid $75 for a 5 pack.
I thought the cigar was pretty good. A medium bodied smoke with a "shaggy" foot. It was wierd to light but burned fine once past the shaggy part. I have only smoked 1 so far. My only complaint was that the draw was pretty tight and did not produce a good mouthful of smoke. Possibly could have been a little damp. I have the other 4 resting in my humi and will try again in the future.

More than one tobacco expert has dissected these alleged pre-embargo cigars. I have never heard nor read where anyone has authenticated the Cuban tobacco in these cigars.
Even if the tobacco were authentic, after forty years the flavorant oils contained within the leaf would be long gone.
