"OK cigar but still undecided"
When another review compared it to the Montesino Napoleon Grande, it was pretty correct. Yes, they are very UGLY!!!!!!! Horrible veiny wrappers that are thin and can tear easily. Draw is good but they have plugged while smoking them but nothing to serious. Burn is good, no problems yet from them. Flavor is OK, not as good as Montesino Napoleon Grande. But for the price what do you expect. Overall the Montesino are better but these are an OK cigar.

"thin wrapper, soft capsule, good value smoke"
The Super Habanero is a poor man's Montesino Napoleon. I smoked Fuentes fumas for years until they became outrageously expensive (they went from $18 bundle to $35+). The Super Habanero is thin skinned, but avoids the harshness of most dollar cigars. They are not peppery or hot, registering a cooler smoke than most cigars in this category. They are loosely packed,like the Fuentes, which means happily that they are not likely to be plugged. All in all this is a smoke that provides sound value coupled with a satisfactory tasting experience. They are best directed at those who smoke 4 to 5 cigars a day. They have a place in that rotation.
