Scott made a good point about gluing all those cuts onto the binder; that just can't be good.
The marketing really turns me off, though, from the heavy use of military imagery and symbols to the negative ad against Cuban cigars; it's what puts me off the most aside from the prospect of all that glue.
You know, I hear a lot of *****ing about La Aurora getting a premium for their Preferido tubos, but at least with that you're getting a good cigar. What are you getting when all that torcedor labor goes into gluing all those pieces, and how much of the cigar's cost goes into that packaging? Which leaves exactly how much investment in quality tobacco and blending?

You make some interesting points. But I gotta tell ya, these guys mean business. All the ones I smoked and passed out to my 'aficionado' friends left me yearning for the next. I'll pit them up against any brand in the price range. They did their homework through and through. They get my vote. Besides, I've heard great things about the charity they're partnered with: Hope for the Warriors. That charity vets out their partners before getting involved with them...Happy smoking boys!
