I would say that if your not going to stock up with a box, at least order a sampler because they are certainly worth a try. IMHO, they're up there with the DPG Whites and Blues, and Tatuaje. In terms of quality that is.

I agree about the price point, but they are probably more expensive due to smaller production. That being said I really enjoyed the ones I had. Some were better than the Blues, Blacks etc., the ones that stood out were the Hirsch y Garcia and the Habana Leon, and some were on par or not as good. Keep in mind I only had 1-3 of each stick, so a box investment I can speak to.

and flavor, Agreed.

I have always wanted to make it over to De La Concha for their Pepin house blend, but have never gotten the chance when I am in the city...

The CS sampler is definitely a good way to try them without breaking the bank. My favorite HyG is the lancero/lonsdale, smooth and complex.
