charlie -- These aren't all top shelf sticks, like i said, the brutha's been buying sticks at a local corner store for 2 yrs. There is a good selection in there tho of stuff i enjoy smoking from the low-mid price range. And a couple nice ones (gurkha and cuban).
I don't think the PI products are that bad...they're certainly not my favorite, by any stretch, but i still smoke them on occassion. Actaully, i let him smoke a PI double maddie on Thanksgiving and he really liked it, so i threw a different one in.
Even PI is going to be "super premium" relative to the dryed out no name's he's been smoking. I went to his corner store once and the gars are all in a dish for like a buck a pop by the cash register (no humi!). When i saw that horrible sight i told him i'd hook him up with an edjamacation this year.
