I hear they are pretty good Cec. I've not had them though.
Let us know what you think about them.

I did a quick check on google & the reviews were pretty good. Always looking for a decent $1 cigar (or less).

I may light one up tonight & give a review. Just OTT so not sure they will be @ their peak! At .76 cents per stick I can afford to toss a few but hope not!

Packed in 'brown paper' which seems to hold the humidity. Package was a little wet when it arrived today. I pulled one out of the bundle near the center. A little spongy in places but appeared well made, a few veins. Easy light w/ lotsa smoke. What I noticed the most was the strong taste of some kind of herb. Even burn, getting a little better 1/2 way down, some pepper. My opinion... these need some serious time in the humi due to dampness.Not horrible but not not great either. 2/3 down & beginning to burn unevenly. Tossing. Will revisited in a few weeks...stay tuned! |

Those sound like the wheels which were a big seller for me and my local customers years ago. Although they are getting expensive...back then they were only $.50 - $.60 each  A friend/customer of mine was actually on the cover photo of American Lawyer magazine holding one in his hand. He would blast through on of those wheels a week. Do they say now if they are long filler or short filler? Back then, they didn't say and it was a crap shoot as to what you got...but they still all smoke ok and tasted the same. |
