Here is a link to a review of an actual pre-embargo Cuban I was lucky enough to smoke...Got a couple more hiding out in my humi. A generous BOTL gifted me these smokes.

Did you buy Pinars from Cigar.com? They are a rip-off. Ghurka says they make a cigar from pre-embargo Cuban tobacco. I've had a few of them. They are just OK...Nothing more.
