I saw in the dec ca that drews la vieja habana rothchild was rated at 87 and thought that might be a decent low dollar cigar. any la vieja smokers out there that can give any feedback?

My first box I bought was awesome.....but the 2 after that were pretty much crap!

but for the cheapo price that they sell for now...what more could I expect?

I have had to group these in with the "dog rocket" category in my book. Not quite bad enough to fit in the "mulch" heap, but not good enough to pick out of the 'dor and smoke when there are plenty of goodies sitting right next to it.

I like them and smoke them often due to the price. But, they are hit and miss as to the quality I get in each box. Some are very good and some are to loose and lots of stems. I even found a metal wire about one inch long. The bottom line is its a good cigar for the money.

I would not consider a cigar containing a metal wire or any other foreign objects to be a good or even a decent cigar no matter the price

For anyone who like's mild-medium bodied low priced cigars I think these are great. Granted, I've only brought in one box so far, but for $1/smoke I really like 'em.

They seem to be a mix of short/long filler but burn just fine. Raven did hit the nail on the head though saying that some of them are pretty loosely packed (maybe 4-5 in the box) but really at this price, who cares.. good to at least try!
