Not sure if many have tried these, but they are made by Don Pepin Garcia.

Met him last week at a Habana Premium in Albany, NY and he recommended them to me. He told us they were blended as in the taste of Cohiba.

Bought a torp and got a free robusto. Mid priced stick around $6 for the torp. Smoke them both and I thought they were both great. Smoked them while fishing, so I wasnt able to pay alot of attention to it, held it in my mouth for longer than I should have, and smoked it faster than I should have.

These both burned razor sharp and had great flavor without the usual Pepin "pepper" kick in the mouth. Never got harsh, and I smoked both down to the last inch.

Gotta get my hand on a box now!

If you come across some, give 'em a try.
