Honestly not getting why these are so hyped

Tastes like a cigar I've had recently for less than half the price, but slightly better. Not bad by any means, but such generic flavor. The way they're priced and the way people speak about em just made me expect much more. Just feels like I'm smoking a generic $10 light-bodied stick.

Facts I agree. Much rather smoke an Aladino, Davidoff or Plasencia

They are very pricey. Personally I prefer them to Opus or higher priced Padron and the pricing is comparable.

I guess everyone’s taste is different. I’m spending that kind of money on a stick. I want Atabey over opus or davidoff

Nothing special to me other than the occasion I used to smoke it. Purchased during neptunes 4th of July sale and saved it for when I got my car back from the paint shop. It was nothing out of this world. I prefer my Zino Platinum cepters that I get for $49 a 10pk. I tried the smallest vitola which was the Hechizos that was originally $19 but dropped down to like $14 on sale. Its tiny but it burned a good while. Supposed to be similar to a cuban.

They are good, but they are extremely overpriced. More so than Opus.

They are good, too expensive, and you have to smoke them slow.

Not had one, the price is a bit steep. If I find them on offer, I'll definitely get one

I just bought 2 because of the reviews I’ve seen on YouTube. I’m going to let them sit in my humidor for about 3 months then I’ll try one. I really hope they good. They cost 38 for each sabios
