Curly heads are usually on the pretty mild side though they do have flavor. I think it’s more of universal cigar than just about any ohter if not for any other reasons: the price, the dependable mildness, and availability. You will, if you smoke enough of them, notice some inconsistency. I imagine this is due to the nature of the beast in that it is made from medium filler left-over tobaccos from Arturo Fuete’s stable of fine smokes. What, in my humble opinion, makes them compelling is they are always mild and pretty good for smoking on a budget. Some mixed filler cigars make a mess in your mouth, others fall apart. The curly head stays together and smokes to a nub if you like. You can even chew it without the whole cigar falling to pieces.

Like I started with: “There’s a place in the world for a “Curly Head”. I recommend you buy a box and enjoy low cost herfing.
