They are not "blow your socks off good," but they are good IIRC. Do you really expect them to "blow your socks off" at $3.04 per stick anyway? Or is $3.04 for a good stick good enough for you?

I am looking for something new to add to the rotation, and being that I don't have a ton of money I like for it to count.

I hear ya. They are good. I've smoked a few. IIRC I liked them a lot, but that was a while ago. I honestly don't think you can go wrong at that price if you're putting them into rotation. Also, I know CI will take the remainder back if it turns out you don't like them. If that happens and you've used the free shipping code, then you're only out the cost of shipping for giving it a shot. I've done this only once and it was no problem at all.

I haven't tried them since they came out. I really wanted to like them cause they have a super cool band and stuff.
They smoke like straw. No nicotine, devoid of any discernable flavors.
They make a lot of smoke and don't smell too awful. They're odd in that they really don't have any positives, but they don't have any negatives, either. They don't taste bad, and they look good and smoke fair, but real loose.

If you wanna try them, hit that cheaper link up there and give them a throw.
BTW, I tried all the sizes across a couple different samplers. They were all pretty much the same, so I don't think you can miss on any of the sizes.
The itty bitty ones are cute. :D

I've been reading alot of reviews of people saying they are having burn issues with these. However the reviews seem to be 2-3 years old. Anyone have recent experience, and can say one way or the other whether there is a burn issue.

They arrive from CI soggy and dripping. Get them down to 60% and they burn like a champ.

I tried a couple in the 6X60 size. I really liked these and considered them $5 smokes. That price sounds like a bargain to me...
