I ordered these primarily for smoking them on the golf course. Not one has burned evenly. The taste is somewhere between unpleasant and not satifsfying.

I gave them one star due to the box! They were hard to keep lite and 1/2 of them burned on only one side. But at a little over a buck a smoke, guess they will work. I got tired of fooling with them that I gave them to my son-in-law. He is a coonass and will smoke anything! I will not purchase any more of these, and will not recommend them to anyone else ..... pick your own poison.

I always light up as I'm heading out to walk my dog. A slow stroll around a few blocks gives me the perfect length of time to get through my cigar; it's a terrific little addition to a enjoyable bit of my 'fresh air' time.

this is not a well made cigar. i often have to burn off unburned wrapper. however, the flavor to me is good and smooth. the majority of the cigars burn well and give me what i smoke for.

I didn't really care for these. Granted they're are a buck a stick, but they were pretty bad. Hard to keep lit, and the draw would pop fillings. Dare I use the term, "Dog Rocket"....lol. I only smoked one. I'll leave the in the humidor for a couple of months and see if they do any better. Certainly can't hurt them....

Can't draw off of these things. They're wrapped too tight. Even when I ran a bore hole all the way through the cigar, it still would not stay lit or allow a draw. 20$ a box, you get what you pay for.

Terrible flavor and impossible to keep lit; have to puff continuously to keep it lit. I understand they are inexpensive but I wouldn't say they are even worth $1 a stick.

I have purchased lots of cigars in stores and online for gifts and for personal use. The cigars I purchase are not your high end cigars. I have tried the middle and lower end cigars looking for the best deals and bargains but still getting the cigar that meets my needs and satisfies me. Thompson is my choice!

Not fresh even after seasoning a week. I have used 30-35 sticks so far more than half I had to throw away (fell apart)Best thing about the 1898 was the glue on the two rings. had to use a knife to get them off.WILL NOT ORDER THESE AGAIN.

This product alone made me question quitting. How any company can put a product out of this quality. I asked myself "how much liquor does one have to consume for this to be enjoyable?" The saddest of all is that I can't shake the awful experience out of my mind. They have no right to be a lasting memory.
