Are these for real? Are they worth the try? I know they use the trimmings from the Pinar 50/50 Pre Embargo's, and claim to use only the cuban leaves. Is this true?

Actually, I was told by my local tobaccionist (actually both of them) that they are made from the scraps from the Pinars (A) with the 100% pre-embargo tobacco...Ive tried two of them and they are pretty strong with a good flavor...I would recommend them...They're not great but pretty good
