I smoked a lot of cigars that were cheap when I was a rookie. I found that I enjoyed (at that time) several that many old-timers wouldn't touch with a ten foot match. As I matured in my tastes, I would go back and retry them, and find them often too mild and bland. However, they served a purpose at the time, and can be an important step in learning what you like.

Disregard the naysayers. At that price, they are definitely cheap enough to try for yourself to find out id any of them are hidden gems. Remember, there are tons of people on the "boards" that poo-poo Macanudos, but it is still one of the best selling brands in the world!!! It's all about what YOU think about the taste, not what we think about the taste. And, if the price is right, give them the taste test!!!

One of the beauty with these samplers with several of the same sticks..... If you like it, you have a few more. If you don't like it, you have one or more unsmoked ones to cut open, see how they are made! Or, if the first one doesn't float your boat, but doesn't make you want to eat dog turds, put it back, let it sit for a few months, try it again. You never know!
