I've smoked a couple different ones. They were ok, nothing special. On one of the Purple, the entire wrapper leaf came off.

I believe they are short filler and they aren't awful, but I've had a few and there are better cheap cigars out there

I'm sure not all the wrappers fall off the Purples.

That green label has a brazilian maduro with Nicaraguan filler and is blended(and hopefully rolled) at AJ Fernandez's factory. Something tells me that cigar can't be but SO bad. If you go through with it, let us know how that one is.

The brazilian ones are decent. Here is my review from a while ago.
Cigar.com Brazilian Label Robusto (5x50)
Prelight: The cigar had a nice, tight-but-spongy construction with a beautiful dark wrapper that was luscious and shiny. The prelight draw was extremely spicy and had a smooth, delicate pull.
First 1/3: Right out of the gate, the cigar was very spicy, but the flavor quickly mellowed and got fairly sweet with subtle hints of chocolate.
Second 1/3: Into the second third, the stick began losing its sweetness but the chocolaty tones started to really pick up, and the smoke got thick and extra creamy.
Final 1/3: The chocolate flavor intensified during the final third and the spice came roaring back.
Overall: The more I smoked, the more I liked this little beauty, especially as the draw opened up and rich creamy smoke literally forced itself into my mouth. For ~$2/stick, I'd say the Brazilian Label is a real winner. It provides a solid, Brazilian-flavor that lasts a little more than an hour and is comparable to (or better than) many higher-priced Brazilian sticks.
Verdit: Try this cigar!

I have tried a few of them and they weren't bad. They threw in a sampler with one of my orders, so I was able to try them for free, but I don't think I would buy them.

Agreed. I would smoke them, but I wouldn't buy them.

Bobby,
I would appreciate it if you would review them. I am interested in how they are. I believe the Corojo (silver) one is blended by Pepin.

I've read the same thing about the Corojo, but I am curious about all these as well. Thanks for reviewing these, can't wait!
