The Picante is 5 x 40 and costs around $3.75.

I thoroughly enjoyed these cigars. They are well made, and have had consistantly excellent draw and flavor.

Full bodied flavor, very smooth with an increasing complexity and spicy flavor that was enjoyable but not overpowering. Great aftertaste...left me wanting more. Definitely a "burn your lips" cigar. If you enjoy much milder cigars, this may not be your cup of tea, but if you enjoy a cigar with a bit bolder flavor, this is worth a try in my opinion.

I have seen these at one of the local shop's. I havent had a chance to try one out yet, but I think I might treat myself this weekend.

I deffinatly agree, these cigars are a good buy. I enjoyed the flavor, but they were a little to strong for me. I enjoy a more mild cigar.

Where in the heck do you buy your cigars at!!! Holy crap!!!

Actually, these are a decent medium smoke - a bit less spicy than I anticipated. I've put a few to sleep to see how they smoke in a year or so - I'm thinking it might be a pretty good smoke with time...

It seems a lot of retailers are doing specials on these. Our was doing a buy two, get one free - with a free cutter. I've seen the packs they're selling - seems interesting.
