I thought the flavor was horrible, it basically tasted like lighting a paper bag and inhaling. The construction was fine but the flavor sucked. I bought 20 of the on CI.com when they were on sale for about $20 and figured I'd give them a shot (they talked them up like they were a premium cigar and popular in europe). oh well. (If you by chance want any PM me your address and I'll send you the remaining cigars taking up space in my humidor)
