I've had all of them except the black label (La Aurora). The orange (Patel) and the yellow (Pepin) are the only decent sticks. The green (Reyes) isn't horrible for a mild smoke. However, I would not pay $5/piece for any of them. If you can find a deal where you're only paying $2-$3/piece it might be worth it. You can do far better for $5...
