Apparently they are...

"CUBAN CRAFTERS Cabinet Selection Cuba Campana Cigars are skillfully hand-made by a master roller with many years of experience. The Long-Filler is a sun-grown Cuban-Seed Habano tobacco. The Binder is a superior quality Habano 2000. The totalmente hecho a mano cigar are draped in flawless dark Habano Wrapper leaves from Ecuador. Their interesting shape is that of a bell and ends in a large 60 ring gauge. Each cigar is 5½” long and is meticulously finished with a long curly head cap and a cigar tail typical of those from Cuba. They are made the old fashioned way and taste like the Cigars from Cuba used to. They have very delightful and intensely rich flavors that pleasantly vary with each puff. A unique smoking experience is guaranteed.

CUBAN CRAFTERS bring back to mind the times when Cubans were the best in the world. They are handcrafted by skilled master rollers. Silky and impeccably box-pressed, they are finished the way that a cigar in Cuba used to be. With a cap that has a long curly head and a foot with a typical cola (tail). As in the Cuba of the past, each tobacco leaf is hand selected in in the fields.It is then cured and aged through an extensive fermentation and aging process. After three years and five curing fermentations, the leaves evolve into perfect cigars at the hands of these highly trained artisans. Smoking one is an experience all by itself. The draw is firm and the burn is even. The white ash is long and clean. The complex taste is intensely flavorful and full in body. This is what smoking a fine cigar is all about!

FULL BODIED. Their distinguished stout taste is described as full-bodied and intensely flavorful with well balanced floral flavors and a leather undertone. There are hints of spices and nuts. It ends with whispers of coffee and chocolate."

Puros they aint, but they read well:biggrin1:

Hi cj,

I havent tried the particular size, but the ones I have had were pleasant; nothing more, nothig less...not as strong as I would have imagine reading the description on the website and not as flavourfull. Good construction and typical non-cuban appearance.

i would suggest you buy a sampler first before you go for the full box.

Hi Yiorgos,

Ah, as often found, they read a wee bit better than they smoke then:cool:

Thanks for your comments and suggestion there mate, I'll keep people posted if I get a few:41:

I bought a box of these and am gloriously happy with them. I keep a record of my smokes in a database and here is my review of this cigar:

What an interesting stogie!

Strong. Great draw. And, of course, a really interesting shape. Flavor is very rich and quite unique. Hard to describe. Hints of citrus(?), or a sweet metallic taste (?), very smooth, and has a kick. Also, the flavor evolves as the stick gets skinnier. (That’s another weird thing: You light the fat end and smoke it down to the skinny end.)

Aroma is unusual too. Quite pleasant, but unlike anything else I’ve smoked. My lovely wife, came out on the porch while I was puffing and said “That cigar smells really good.” !!!!! That’s NEVER happened before.

Note that this is a FULL-BODIED cigar, but at about $3 (USD) a stick, with a perfect burn, textbook ash, wonderful draw, and oh-so-tasty, I'd recommend them in a heartbeat.
