Trying out el cheapo
I'd bet it's decent.
first few puffs were cringe worthy but the cigar has settled into a nice smoke . Perfect draw, and burn. Good smoke output and nice finish. Sweet Corojo spice.
Perhaps they just need a little more rest to get rid of that cringe factor. Seems like they were at least worth what you paid for them.
Sorry, but if a cigar needs rest to possibly be decent, chuck it in the canal. There are enough decent cigars and not a lot of time to waste waiting.
