The price point on the Southern Draw 300 Manos Habano Petit Edmundo is attractive and I could see this being quite popular as the flavor profile would appeal to a large number of smokers. I'd have no problem smoking more of these in the future.

For those that bought these, they are great shorter smokes that give you the profile you're accustomed to. I would have no problem smoking more of these.
