I think a few of their cigars are only so so, but i've never had a CAO that i had to put out because it was so bad.

as for superficial reasons to not buy sticks... shape... its not all superficial, as it takes a better roller to roll more complex shapes, but a figurado or perfecto will almost always tempt me into trying a stick way before a toro or robusto.
Some very good points REV.
