I bought a box of these for 19.99 w/free shipping from cigarmonster, especially because I dig EcSu wrappers, and short filler doesn't bother me as the draw is usually spot on.

However, after recieving the box and pulling off the shrink wrap, I caught the aroma of what to me, smells like a New England dank basement. I could not figure out why they smelled that, but they just smelled, and then tasted "mildewy". I then noticed that CI posted a staff review, to which they also noted something along the lines of "the aroma of the inside of a bag of potting soil" which is about dead on.... and let me tell ya, I didn't find it pleasing. It sucks too, because the flavors I found were great, classic EcSu spicy sweet with loads of smoke, but that damp overly earthy flavor was always there. Letting them out of their cello and leaving them in the humi has calmed it down some, but that was my expierience. YMMV
