I have sampled the line and have a few thoughts.
If you like both pipe tobacco and cigars, I think you'll like this as a blending of the two, especially if you like pipe blends with dark fired Kentucky or latakias. In my opinion, these cigars benefit from having a smaller ring gauge as the balance of the filler binder wrapper suits my tastes more. For that reason, I prefer the “Delfinas” (lancer / panatela sized; 6 x 26) or the “Kyotos” (5.50 x 34). They just seem to have more of the character these deliver.
If you are reaching for a cigar and want a classic cigar, don't grab one of these. If you are reaching for a cigar, like pipes and want a cigar with some pipe tobacco like characteristics, take a ride with one of these. Definitely a change of pace.
