Some 5 pack but the cigars fall apart easy. When I try and remove the ban it’s really stuck on there and tears the cigar.
Cigar itself is OK at best.

I love me some West Tampa stuff and when I had the opportunity to grab these I jumped on it.
Now I’m not a ‘list a bunch of flavor notes’ kind of smoker – I have good or bad while on occasion maybe getting a touch of chocolate or coffee or the like.
These are constructed amazingly and smoke VERY good for me. They’re definitely a 5/5 in my little cigar world.
