These are well constructed I haven't ran into very many issues with the burn. These have pretty much became a daily smoke for me for the time being. I do enjoy them. I get earth sambuca (a little at times and more so in the aroma) I haven't had an issue with a single one and I've got 30 in the humidor (less now I guess) great smoke for the value.
Disappointed by no band being under the stupid Canadian drab band.
All in all a great daily smoke very relaxing and enjoyable
5 stars because of the value for what you get.
