Honestly, at that price (under $2 per cigar) I'd be shocked if there weren't some sampler filler, if you know what I mean. Still, the Rocky Patel SG, La Gloria, Camacho SLR Maduro, Cuesta Rey, CAO Criollo and La Flor are probably worth at least $20. Getting the other 10 for a dollar each seems worth it to me. It's always good to have giveaway cigars for the people who you know will only smoke half a cigar.

"….Such acute market activity supports the claim that freedom of choice is best for business."

This statement cannot be emphasized enough.

golf course smoke? well…it took for-frigging-ever to smoke, I will say that for it. And I'm a crap golfer, so even 9 holes takes me a long time. It really wasn't for me, though. But hey, different strokes.

Loving that little Pato, though.

I agree that the Cusano 18 is complete crap. But most Alec Bradley cigars make good golf course smokes.

Glad to hear you like the CAO Criollo. It's one of my favs, too.

I picked up that mega sampler a couple of weeks ago, and i have to say it had some real duds in it, including the Cusano 18 Churchill, the big Gurkha, the seriously blah La Unica lonsdale, and the Alec Bradley, which is just a big lump of ashy blandness. But! It introduced me to the CAO Criollo Pato, which is now a routine smoke for me, and the Rocky Patel Edge Lite, which was really good as well. So I would recommend you just buy some of those guys, and skip the sampler. Getting bad cigars cheap is no bargain.
