I tried one of these. Not a bad smoke at all, but nothing to rave about IMHO. This cigar was well constructed. A little loose on the draw for my taste, but nothing to complain about. A good burn, but the ash was a little weak. That is to be expected with a looser roll from my experience. A better, but quicker burn, and a weaker ash. The cigar did have a very nice bouquet. I found the smoke to be nice and thick, but a little one dimensional for a cigar in this price range. I expected more richness and spiciness to the smoke from the bouquet. I'm guessing that's because they used a great wrapper, but are a little lacking on the filler.
