Well I received one of these free, would never have bought one as Macs tend to suck for the coinage asked, which for these is around $10. Anyway got it free at a kickoff event and all I can say frankly is that it is just another overpriced average quality Macanudo. Flavor is alright but nothing special. it is consistent and a worthwhile smoke however at the $9-$10 dollar minimum per stick price I got to say don't waste your money. There is no way this smoke compares at all to any other cigar in it's price category. I would maybe pay $3.50 per but again there are still sticks in that range that are better.
