I'm not sure if you had the natural or maduro. However, I believe the maduro is the best smoke for the price that you can get, from most any manufacturer. Then gain, that's my opinion :ss Unfortunately, I spend so much time and money trying to find a similar stick with a similar flavor profile for less that I've never gone as far as to purchase a whole box. So, don't make my mistake and spend tons of time and money trying to find a better stick. Just stop here. Slope problem solved
Agreed- Maduro is just a fine smoke
