It's better than a lot of $4+ sticks I've had. For barely over $1 a stick, you can't go wrong w/ Cuban Alt Cohiba Sig IV or Bolivar Corona (if you like spice).
Do they taste like Cohibas or Bolivars? No. Are they a decent stick? Yes.

I would stay away from the Alt's but I love the Ults and Monte C from the cuban line.
