The packaging isn't errmm.shall we say traditional unlike most cigar packaging is (compare the box with other brands boxes) It looks like some of these 'Acid cigars' that i've heard a bit about recently. Again i thank Walt for the review.

Just no flavor at all. The maduro line is better and I would say that they are an average cigar. These might make an ok morning smoke. I have some of the maduro robustos for a lunch time smoke at times. My first Natural was like smoking air. Just no flavor at all.

I have had a Helix Natural Tubo couple of years ago in Florida. The only reason why I bought it was because it was the only cigar in the hotel shop that I have heard of. I overpaid for it big time. I think that I paid $7.95, and it was fair for the first 1/3, then it got harsh. I guess we can't like every cigar. After I smoked it, I wish that I had bought something else, but eveything was overpriced and I didn't want to pay $5-7 for a bargain or bundle cigar with no label. Hotels can be a rip off, especially when they know that they can get away with it. Nice review Walt. I have had a Helix Natural Tubo couple of years ago in Florida.

She decided to go the route of cigars. Among the cigars was a Helix Maduro Tubo. She said she wasn't going to buy the Helix originally and bought it at the last minute because it looked appealing to her. In that case, the situation was exactly how you described it. She saw a cigar that had a simplistic and neat look that appealed to her as a new (or in her case, non) cigar smoker. -Walt Funny thing you mention that.

I guess that they are trying to set themselves apart from the more traditional “classically styled” bands of other makers, but that seems to be the very thing that makes me overlook them. After Walt's review I won't be going out of my way to try one anytime sooner either.
