Appears to only be a Total Wine thing. I like these Gurkha sample packs because you get 6 decent cigars for 35 bucks. I've tried those cheap 'factory smoke' bricks and they taste like shit. The Gurkha ones are decent.
As far as these flavored ones, definitely more flavor than regular Gurkhas but nothing mind blowing. I had the Rum last night and Bourbon this morning. Burboun has more flavor than the Rum one.
