Saw Bobarian's review in a BTT and remembered that I received one of these in a PIF. Fished it out and fired it up today (it was the lonsdale size -- think that's a Pimiento).

I was suprised and pleased by the heft, the quality of the construction and the burn, and the flavor. Really nice aroma, too. Mine had some age on it, though I can't say how much because it came in a PIF. I didn't get much pepper at the beginning, probably because of the length and ring gauge, but the last 1/3 certainly delivered some cayenne and deep dark sweetness -- it reminded me of the flavor combination of dark chocolate with chili pepper. A very good quality smoke for sure.

I think I'll look into a purchase myself, probably a five pack through CigarAuctioneer because of my current funding situation, and I think that I may go with a robusto to see if a little more filler and a little less wrapper kicks it a up bit.
