If inexpensive is around $6 per stick, then I guess you can classify this as inexpensive (not bloody likely ;) . Good stick, medium-bodied with tastes of chocolates and nuts. Needs humidor time prior to enjoying, a bit green right out of the box, but a great smoke after 2 or more months in the 'dor. I've got a few of the belicoso shaped ones that have been aging since last December. I think I'll smoke one tomorrow :)
