There are a few that are okay. I'm actually quite fond of the micro-batch series. But as a whole, they were consistently tasteless, un-involving and had ridiculous burn issues.
This. A couple of ghurka samplers nearly put me off cigars in the beginning, that said there are a few pretty good cigars, though construction is always an issue. Ghost, European Selection Habano, Status Maduro, come to mind.
