    I wanted to like these (and the nearly identical De Nobili) so badly. They look like they came straight out of A Fistful of Dollars and taste like they're the reason Clint Eastwood always has a scowl. They're dark and earthy and definitely a manly smoke if ever there was one. I might have actually liked them, but I haven't been able to get anything resembling a draw from any of them.
    For my money, I'll be going with Erin Go Bragh and Alta Gracia cigarillos when I need a quick smoke. They have a real tobacco flavor and a nice draw. Even the flavored ones are so lightly flavored as to only compliment the tobacco taste rather than hide it, just like I like my aromatic pipe tobaccos, and most times I didn't notice it at all.

    Tom,
    Did anyone ever tell you it's bad luck to wake the dead.

    I always liked the look of Clint (in whatever character) with one of those slim cigars hanging out of his mouth. I found some that are small and tasty and I love to puff on them while at the range.........especially when shooting handguns........LOL

    If you're looking for a small cigar that's actually decent check out Meharis

    Thanks. They look like they're worth a try. I wonder, though, how long they'll last with the government trying to crack down on flavored cigars. (I wonder about that with all tobacco, though.)

    I've only tried two different types of the Mehari's and they weren't flavored other than by the tobacco used to roll them. I don't believe any of them are flavored in the usual sense of the term (ie: coffee flavored or some other such thing.......personally, I avoid 'flavored' cigars).
