A great cig but quite pricey. Tell me, how is it that people can get away with charging you more when they add less??? Anyway, the taste is great and there is not harsh after taste. As to the packing issue, Im the type of person who packs my cigs A LOT so Im used to it. I really like these, and the no added chemicals thing makes them even better. They may not be exactly healthy but the missing chems makes for a really flavorful smoke. I mean, the tobacco is what its about, not some flavorings. I mean, common, one of the flavoring ingreadiants in regular cigs comes from bay leaf. If I wanted that, I would roll a bunch of bay leaf in with my tobacco and smoke that. Anyway, I give it a four simply because of the price. It would be a five all the way if they were a bit cheaper.
