Overpriced IMO. It's great to see a "home grown" company like this, and especially one trying to use leaf grown in the States. They are using dark-fired tobacco to "tip" the caps. While it makes an interesting flavor, the leaves are too thick to use for an entire wrapper.

I bought a couple at Schwabs, in Lexington, KY last summer. Apparently, they were slow moving, as they had them outside the humi and on closeout special. I'd buy more at that special, but certainly not for what these guys are charging on their site.

Doc Stogie did an article and review last year, and posted back on the old CS.

Another "domestic" is Black Patch Cigars. They are using KY-grown cigar leaf in their cigars, either as part of the filler or as a wrapper. Not a bad smoke, but they are a little high at $7 plus/stick, IMO.
