I like box pressed cigars and was going to try these, any comments? they look to be a value for the $??

I "won" a five pack. Turned my lips blue. Not at all good. Not recommended. LITSTSCC.

ive heard that they are dyed and turn your lips funny colors. they look like they might be colored from the pictures of them.

El Stinko's. X

Taste like charcoal and pencil lead.

Perfect if you're going to put on a minstrel show.

They are beautiful to look at, until you notice the dye on your fingers, lips and ashtray!!!
A real POS.

No wonder Mr. Mean is so Onery, He eats Charcoal Pencils. LOL

oh SH*t, I ordered some too. F it I'll smoke em.
I'll just double up on the Bacardi 151.

As far as turning your lips blue, when I smoke outside at 5 degrees, my lips are blue anyway.

Now they'll go well with the burnt smell of melting gloves.

Actually --
The flavor is not bad, for all the tough comments here. The C-bid guys say it is not dye at all but from the curing of the wrapper. I just washed my hands after smoking and was fine. rjdc -- don't trash em until you try em! I have smoked lots of cigars from here that looked great, burned well and had either no taste or a bad one. These are up the list a long ways from some! jmnsho, of course!

Well we'll see. As far as colour coming off on our hands and lips, I like Santa Rosas mads. So it won't bother me.

Boy! I can't wait to try these!

like trying to suck a golfball through a garden hose. Very tough draw.

Wow...that was about the third visual I've experienced here today! LOL!

So, Ducati, you've had experience!? LOL again!

I tried one of these for the first time last night. Have to take a slightly contrarian view from most of the sentiments expressed thus far. While not a great smoke, neither was it a bad cigar. I've had much worse. It actually had some flavor too, unlike the Lone Wolfs, et. al. I found it to be a somewhat pleasant oddity whose bad rap has been overstated. Yes, it does leave a very slight black smudge on the fingers, but it was hardly like fingerpainting. No big deal. While you can do much, much better, I don't think this one belongs in the bury-it-in-the-backyard category.

I tried em. Looked much better than they smoked. But, they did have decent flavor in comparison to
other sh***ier smokes I've had.
