Helix and Astral advertise heavily in men's mags like Maxim and what not. I bet they sell pretty well, actually. I've never had one though..but I'm sure they can't be that bad.
I still have a couple Helix XP maduro laying around here somewhere. I tossed the remaining rockets I had such as a Roly bundle and Cuban Crafter sampler which had something like Royal Salute to Arms with various service themes to them. I won a flavored sampler that I gave away to buddies at the firehouse. Beyond those learning sticks, I do have a few low cost machine made sticks I smoke myself but would not necessarily bring to a HERF. I am happy with what I have these days and what I smoke.
I don't have any junk in mine...in fact, I'm proud of all of the smokes in my humi. Why keep bad smokes around or keep something you'd be ashamed to have seen? I like and smoke all of what I have...

Actually, I still have a 50qt cooler mostly filled with "domestic" cigars. All kinds of generic cigars that I got in samplers and things along with some boxes and singles of more premium smokes.
Probably the most embarassing cigar I have (aside from the White Owl) is an It's a Girl cigar that a friend gave me back in 1981 when his first daughter was born. I told him I'd give it back when I had my first, which hasn't happened yet. The poor thing has never seen a humidor. Looks like a dog turd.
back in my early days (about 2 days ago,,, not really), i mistook Big Butt for Short Story (really!),,, grabbed several fivers form CBID at an incredible price! thought i really hit the jackpot. i think i may still have a couple! ha!
