For the last 20 years its been one Robusto and a hot tub a day. I got used to dollar stogies and have recently found Cuban Rejects at Payless. Great smoke for a buck.

I personally smoke Robusto Naturals which I like a great deal and since I smoke at least one stick a day they prevent me from having to explain to my kids that the reason I can't pay for college is because I smoked their college education with a beer by the pool every night. They are also suprisingly consistent, sure there will be some dud's but not any more than you will find in a box of Arturo Fuentes. Granted taste will not be as strong nor as complex as a high end cigar but you will get 75% of the taste for 10% of the cost.... For an every day "not special occasion smoke"nothing better.

They provide plenty of smoke, have a good draw and excellent construction. The local smoke shop sells them for .99 cents a stick in the robusto maduro size. I would put them up against any Consuegra anytime. The ones I have from Phillips and King have no homogenized wrapper. They provide plenty of smoke, have a good draw and excellent construction.

For two bucks they'd be average. They're not a nasty residue kinda deal that you'd get from a Dutchie. So I think it makes them a great value. You get more than you pay for. For 1.15, they're great.

I asked John Parker President of Nat Cicco about recent rejects imitating his cigars and the boxes that hold them, he said "I am flattered that my Rejects are being imitated, I take it as a compliment" John has retired last week, and sold his Nat Cicco to Zander-Greg of Pasadena, Ca. So please if you want to rate Factory Rejects, please rate the original.
