Cigar Hut Alternatives

Anyone aware of these as to how they taste? I was on the site and looked at what they have available and this is what they say:

Try our alternatives to some of the best cigars on the market. These cigars taste a lot like the original Padrón 1964 Anniversary Series™, Fuente Fuente OpusX®, Ashton VSG® and the Trilogy Native Cameroon brands but are available at a fraction of the cost.

Money back guarantee if not completely satisfied with any product.

Anybody try these cigars and what do you think?

I've not tried that particular one, but I've not yet had an ALT that was worth the money except one: The original and the second batch of Famous 3000's were very very good. The new ones aren't anywhere near the same.

I have my doubts as well but look to the brothers to confirm just in case anyone has tried any of them. Keep hope alive!

When I see the word alternative, I do not know what to expect, But no I have not tried any alternative cigars.

This is the only one that I've heard was worth it...

I can't imagine those super premiums being anywhere close to duplicated... I'd stay away unless someone I trusted endorsed them hard.

Good call, I guess someday I will have to pull the plug and get some

Exactly my feelings. I've looked up reviews for a few alts i nearly purchased, and they generally come back as negative and a waste of money.

TNT-Alternatives Padron Anniversario Maduro

I have not tried any of the alternatives from Cigar Hut but over the years I've tried a bunch from other companies. Rarely I am ever satisfied except I will say that the TNT Padron Anniversario Alternatives in the maduro was pretty good. It gave you the "essence" of the higher priced cigar and was certainly worth the price, I think about $45 a bundle. The natural wrapper was just too mild. I also tried their Aurora Preferido Alternative-OK but as the original a much milder stick.

I was just throwing it out there to see if anyone thinks that they are decent,,may have to look at TNT for theirs. Thx!

Isn't it worth the try due to the money back guarantee?
