Default Mr Bundles and the Cubas Famous Brands Bundles

To the admin...I messed up and put this in the wrong forums (too many distractions while trying to create the thread), please adjust its position as appropriate. Thanks.

I sometimes get antsy when I am wanting a cigar and can't have one. If near a computer I commonly start browsing the cigar retail websites, especially those that deliver to Canada.

One of those is Mr. Bundles. While I like to stick with nice hand rolled premium cigars, I am not totally adverse to "slumming it" once in a while. If I find a great deal, I consider it and mull it over for a while.

Anyway, I keep seeing these bundles at Mr. Bundles. They are called "Cubas Famous Brands". When you click on them...you eventually come upon a write up that reads:

"According to the Maker of these cigars these unbanded bundles cigars were blended to be comparable in size, shape, taste, color and aroma for each Cuban brand they represent"

I scoff at this and then chuckle a bit. It seems to be such an obvious, in-your-face, scam that I can't believe I am reading it. But, it write up continues:

"As for aroma and taste that you will need to judge for yourself". For the adventurous, it almost begs you to buy a bundle and "judge for yourself." I am fairly adventuous, but not with money.

So, I wonder if anyone else out there has pull the trigger on these bundles and does have an opinion on whether they are good replicas for flavour, or whether you are just being led down the primrose path.

Cheers
