"Good Value"
I was pleasantly suprised by this cigar. They were mild and burned evenly for about a 45min smoke. I will buy again! For a few dollars a cigar they are a bargain.

"Good with the Bad"
Some good some not so much. I get about a 50/50 chance of getting a good smoke here.
Burn is generally good all the way to the band but the taste is inconsistant from smoke to smoke. At light up there is a bit of a bite to them but as the ash grows so does the enjoyment.
I had had several were the wrapper likes to flake away. Also had a couple that were way too tight and made for a difficult draw.
I do find that over all they are a good tasting smoke and get better the longer you let them sit. Very strong right out of the box.

"Should have read the last review"
Not for the weak at heart. Rough bitter tast. Won't buy again.

"Still Average Over Time"
Ok, I won a five pack of the Picantes at an auction. I tried one as soon as I got them. It was an average smoke with a bit of a peppry taste. I tried another two weeks later and there was still no change. I have tried my last three after three, six, and twelve months in my humidor. While they did mellow out a little over time, I did not notice a significant change. I'll stick to my Sancho Panza Double Maduro Quixotes for my every day go to cigar.
