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...
