Picked up a sampler of thes, was curious about the Turkish tobacco. So here ya go:

Construction: Firm and VERY oily, the wrapper is dark and toothy and somewhat splotchy.

First impressions: Spicy and a little harsh, hopefully the harshness will go away.

First Quarter: Even burn, and harshness has faded quite a bit. Flavors are spicy with leather and earth. Ash is holding on, but does seem to be a little loose.

Second Quarter: Peppery and tangy, witha straight burn. The Turkish tobacco does add a certain something to this cigar, not bad, but very interesting.

Third Quarter: Burn is starting to go a little cock-eyed, after a touch up it seems to have fixed this. Medium to full in body, with spice and earth and slight leather flavors.

Finale: At less than 2 bucks a piece this a great cigar. Is it a DPG or Fuente? No, But it is unique and very flavorful, I would recommend picking some up and giving them a whirl.

Construction: 8 Halos
Flavor: 7 Halos
Value: 8 Halos

A great cigar at a great price......can't go wrong there.
