I was just wanting to get some feedback about these. I have heard that they are crap and that for less than $2 a stick that they are not to bad. Just to be clear, I am NOT looking for a source or any other info that would get me banned. Just some info about whether or not at $2 a stick they are worth it. Thanks!

they are a $2 stick. if you are looking for a burner, a yard gar, a "background music", they work. i have a guy in my neighborhood loves the things. i have had a fistful that were frustratingly tight, but many more that were surprisingly decent, if flat.

for all that guys go nuts over budget sticks and snack smokes, they are NOT a bad tool to have at your disposal.

Hello, klyoung3! I've had many of these and i think they and the Brevas are great. mild bodied and creamy but everybodies tastes are different. I usually pick up several 5 packs while in the Caribbean.

These are the sh&t; I have al least 5 boxes on hand at any one time.

They are great at 2$, 4$, maybe even 6$. 2011's are awesome, 2012's are better... I have a few 2013 boxes on the way.

They aren't going to win any awards but they are very, very good.

These are my go-to hand-out sticks. They're good enough that they can be enjoyed by long-time smokers, accessible enough that they can be enjoyed by noobs, cheap enough that they can be handed out without worrying if that mooch is gonna toss 3/4 of it, and they're Cuban which everyone thinks is cool.

I smoke 'em in the yard quite often.

I didnt think about those things. I have 0 cheap-o's in my humi and it kills me seeing a buddy toss half of a $9 stick. Why I dont have a "moochador" is beyond me. I am sold. Thanks for the info and the idea spark!

Shit... You guys are gonna make me by my first CC's.

Starting up a moochador when I get home this afternoon. Brilliant idea. Not sure why it took me so long do this. Thanks!

I love the flavors of CC. I dont get to smoke them often but when I do I enjoy them more than nonCC. Thanks for the info. Now ill be searching for older boxes!

never tried the larger format jlp'z

valuewise, short filler cc's are miles atop the >$3ish stick market .

Will do. I always try to try at least 1 out if not a 3er before I jump into a box.
