Ok,

I picked up a 3 pack of the Tainos size from CI a few weeks ago. I let them rest and fired one up for my drive home. I will say that it was a good stick. Nice flavors that progressed as I nubbed it, but definitely not a $12 cigar IMHO.

Now here is my quandry. Why are these things so expensive and why do people rave over them so much? Again, it was a tasty stick, but I can get a Siglo IV (my absolute favorite

cigar, and superior cigar at that) for exactly the same price. Are the people who are raving over these the ones who have never gone to the

side?

I have heard people say these are very cubanesque. I have to strongly disagree. Good flavors, but about the only thing cubanesque about this cigar was the fact that the roller is probably of cuban descent
