No, they are machine made or at least machine finished.

The smell of them alone, is nauseating to me.

Cigars in a bag just scream High Quality!

Interesting. Wonder if there's anywhere to get singles without paying $6 for shipping. Definitely don't need a bag.

Finally got around to smoking one of these today, thanks to the generous Chutney Lovebusciut.

Disclaimer: I am a complete rookie so this isn't quite a review.

First thing I noticed was the cap looked a little haggard. This made it difficult to use a punch so I gave up and chopped it off with my Cuban Crafters Perfect Cutter.

Lit right up and only required touch-up about 30 seconds in. Good solid burn and good draw for the remainder.

I didn't taste as much rum flavor as I had expected, especially since I can smell them from across the room, in the ziplock bag. The flavor/sweetness was actually quite subtle which made it pretty enjoyable.

It ashed at about an inch and became a little flaky later on.

The only real complaint I had is the filler looked kind of crappy and that in part with trying to get a good cut resulted in me spitting out pieces of tobacco for the first few minutes.

Oh, and these things are highly aromatic. I decided I didn't even want to keep them in my 50ct humidor that houses my infused cigars, mainly all Drew Estate stuff. So I just kept them in the small bag beside my humi.

Overall, for the price of these things, I was quite surprised how decent of a smoke it was. I certainly don't think I'd buy a bag, but they're worth a shot if you like infused/flavored cigars. For $1.23 a piece (assuming a bag is purchased) they're worth it.

A few cell phone pics.
