If they are Osca's then I would think they would be pretty good.

Cigar King had them on sale a week or so ago. Oscar Valladares seems to be the next up-and-coming cigar maker.

Wahoo!

Jim owns a shop in Pittsburgh. He collaborated with Oscar V. first releasing Leaf by Oscar. He has also worked with James Brown of BLTC. The Island Jim sticks themselves, I'm not sure because Jim and Oscar were mad at each other for a while. But they are a tasty stick.

Haven't had one, but my local shop can't keep them in stock. Might have to try one.
