I love them. I got 20 for $1 ea and another 20 on cbid $1.20 ea. They are a sandwitch filler. From Wiki:

Also available is a filler called "sandwich" (sometimes "Cuban sandwich") which is a cigar made by rolling short leaf inside long outer leaf. If a cigar is completely constructed (filler, binder and wrapper) of tobacco from only one country, it is referred to in the cigar industry as a "puro" which in Spanish means "pure". (thanks JBO)

This would explain the small bits of tobacco you got in your mouth. Not quite as good (smooth) as their cousin the Gran Habano #5, but as noted for a buck they are outstanding. I have about 30 or so aging in the coolador.

Suprised you didn't get a bit more spice from a corojo wrapper.
