These are a very good entry level smoke. You should be able to get these for under $6 a piece and they have great construction. Their flavors are not like a typical non-ISOM, but more reminesce the barnyard & Hay flavors of ISOM. I guess that is why they are the Traditions because they are trying to mimic that flavor profile. The only part of these that I did not like was the harsh ending to them.
