Well, I'm usually disappointed with the mini versions of whatever cigars I like and these were no exception. They were remininscent of the big ones, but for the most part tasted cheap. The only small cigars (smaller than petite Coronas) I've liked so far are Cohiba Pequenos, CAO Brazilias Cariocas, and Punch Bolos. All the others I've liked would be considered petite coronas. I think it's the machine processed wrappers on most mini's that ruin them. They taste like cigarrette paper. I've noticed all the ones I like have real wrappers.
