while the short filler tends to lend a significant contribution to the flavor, the quality of the filler is more important than whether or not it's cuban. anything with quality cuban tobacco (whether or not it short filler or long filler) is going to cost more than that.

at that price, it might be worth trying, but i'd be willing to bet the farm that they aren't anything special.

just my 2 cents - never tried 'em personally.
