From my experience and the knowledge I've gained, a cigar that is made from improperly fermented tobacco will have a lot of ammonina and nicotine and should be very harsh. I don't do harsh.

What will make it worse is that there are a LOT of great cigars at the $4.75/$5 price range (including other Pepin blends like 601 red/black and even DPG black 1979). These will be competing directly with those and if they don't measure up, I doubt they'll make much of a splash.

Although, there will always be some folks who are swayed by the Tatuaje branding so who knows.
