Well, I just picked up a mis priced box of these. What can I expect, or are the a $39 box of crap! They look nice but the real test will be lighting one up tonight. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I've smoked these before, long time ago... If I remember, they were pretty good. I think they mostly come in thinner sizes (less than 47). I prefer larger ring, so I didn't smoke any more.

your right Low. It's a 5.5 X 42. It's a lot smaller than I like but for the price, I coudn't pass it up.

Penguin,
Are they in metal tubes? I have had several of the SG`s that come in the tube, not bad, a little on the mild side for an SG! IMHO.

No, I picked up the box marked Tubos but put it back down. They had stacks of these boxes. Robustos, Senores(sp), etc... in there humidors. I went through all of them and found this one. It was with all the others marked $69. I brought it to the owners attention he smiled and said "Thanks, you can have it for that price" One more reason why I always visit the local shops :)

what the other guy said. they are ok for a mild smoke but the sungrown wrapper doesnt have the oomph you might expect. $39 for a box aint a bad price. they are too mild for me, though.
