Has anyone here tried these cigars?

My dad had a box of them and he gave me a couple saying that he liked them alot. The first one I tried to smoke had such a hard draw that I put it out after only an ince or two. I decided to try the other one after my dad said I probably just got a bad one and it was almost just as bad of a draw. Also the cigar tasted almost like I was smoking cardboard, no flavor at all.

I'm really confused, I don't know if it just me or what. But all of the reviews on Cuban Crafters say that this is an excellent smoke.
