I agree. It's an average sun-grown wrapper type cigar. Not bad by any means, but certainly nothing to write home about. I got my fiver off cbid for a good price, so I'm not as disappointed as you I'm guessing. The first of the five I smoked had a terrible construction problem. It was as soft as taffy in the middle after I smoked it for a few minutes. Needless to say it burned like hell and I had to toss it. The others were OK, worth the $2 apeice I spent. The last two gained a bit from some months aging.
