Some of these are pretty tight and hard to smoke. After they were in my humidor a few days they burned evenly, but still a hard draw on some of them. These are good backup cigars, or good to give your buddy who wants to be cool but ends up wasting one of your nicer smokes.

Good selection for the price. A cigar for every occasion and time frame. Quality of panatelas and churchills superior. Blunts tended to be so tightly rolled that you couldn't get a decent draw. But, on the whole, a very nice selection.

Terrible does not even come close, these cigars were just completely un-smokable. Terrible quality, all sizes were extremely hard, too compact, horrible filler, maybe I smoked five out of the entire box. I threw away most of them, I don’t know what to do with the second box since I actually bought a 2-fer.

I like a good verity for daily smoke but this product does not get it. About 70% (all sizes) were BAD. Hard to light, burns irregular, firm to no draw, have to keep lighting for each draw. Flavor is good on the 30% that did burn good, but that's not good enough. This makes me wonder about any cigars with the Thompson name on it. I will not buy this product again even if it was half of the discounted price I paid. I will not recommend this product to a friend. It's a rip off. I will continue to purchase other brands thru Thompson, but NOT this one.

As a regular cigar smoker I've tried many various cigars including this sampler in the past. The previous releases were pretty good, not a favorite but nice to share with friends. This oder was terrible! Hard to light, wouldn't stay lit, uneven burn, really hard to draw, and even if got lit to keep lit many got hot then went out when quit drawing. I'll try again in the future but since I went past the 30 day return I cannot return these and they're going in the trash. Thomson did offer me a $10 gift certificate for my trouble though so not a complete loss. :->

decided to try these out pretty decent smoke, leans more to the medium + side. The smaller diameters, have issues with staying lit, then hard to relight. (must have a problem evenly spacing short fillers) the larger diameters don't seem to have that problem. Was really impressed with the wooden box for this price range. Overall a decent smoke for around the campfire.

This is not a bad sampler for the price. If you smoke alot on the weekends and wanna save some money, or if you are new to cigars and want to see and taste different ring sizes and lengths you like. This is a good deal is a great way to try. The only major problem I had was wrapper issues on the bigger ringed cigars. There were a few other querks with the bigger ring sizes with uneven burning and flavor. Over all though I still enjoy these you can't bear the price. The smaller ring sizes I enjoyed alot. The larger ring sizes I enjoyed but 3 of them did fall appappart 1/2 way. Few burned uneven. still is better than what you get I'm other samplers. For the price thsee cigars have a decent earthy flavor *I do recomend the smaller ring sizes and cigarellos the most.

I purchased these cigars for a gift. When the receiver of the gift opened them, we tried out a couple. We were both disappointed. They did not taste fresh, hard to draw and wouldn't stay lit. He took them home with him anyway. I told him I was going to contact Thompson and ask for advice. I've ordered cigars from you before and they were good. Thanks

These cigars tend to smell and taste fine but almost half burned very unevenly. Typically, the wrapper is black and still there with the filler smoked an inch or more down. On a few a burn hole started far down the wrapper. For the price, it was tolerable but don't expect a savoring experience with a nice scotch.

A good everyday smoke. We bought the sample box, and hey the box is great well constructed good for holding fly fishing hooks, pity you can say that about the cigars. Often they have wrapper issues other than that they do burn well and smoke evenly as a rule.

There are small imperfections in the costruction of a few but not enough to affect use or taste. The assumption of this pack is that it would be a variety of smokes. It may be a variety of sizes, but they ALL TASTE THE SAME. This is a bad thing because they are not very good. The perfect use for this kit is when you are at a poker party with alcohol influenced friends that want to smoke along with everybody else, but end up wasting the cigar.

About half of the sticks were way too dry coming out of a new box. I wanted to try comparing different sizes and shapes of the same tobacco to learn a little more about cigars. What I found was about half the wrappers were coming loose. I'm new to this and don't pretend to know a lot, but your not supposed to have to hold the cigar together to smoke it are you?

I really wanted to like these. I wish I could comment on the flavor, but you can't argue from a negative. I've passed these out to others who smoke cigars (because I didn't want them) and then felt bad about doing so...I mean, these are my FRIENDS. So I gave them a proper cigar (an Acid) to make up for giving them these. If you are old enough to remember when groceries came in paper bags, or the brown bags for lunches, these are like smoking those, but with less flavor. If you are looking for a cheap alternative to Acid, these are not them. Not by a long shot. Try Thompson's Nitros - they are good and you won't feel bad about given them to your friends.

The cigar isn't too bad. The issues I've had are with cutting and having the wrapper start to come undone. Drawing is a bit hard, but only in some. They seemed a bit inconsistent. They're nice to have when you don't want to smoke your better cigars if you're just looking for an oral fix.
