I don't buy these very often, they taste like the originals but far milder,the originals are mild to start with but these have very little flavour, they are nutty and sweet, which is not one of my favourite flavours, these are good for when you have little time to enjoy a cigar, but I wouldn't recommend them to experienced cigar smokers, if you want something with more strength, have some Cohiba or Montecristo mini's.
