Looking around at prices and I've noticed that Quinteros are very cheap. Anyone know why? Are they machine-made? Bad?

Had one of these on Saturday and I thought it was a pretty decent smoke. I am not very good at decerning individual tastes or flavors but I thought it had a very unique taste. Great aroma, burned well and it was a very pleasant smoke.

I thought it tasted a bit like an Arturo Fuente Cuban Corona, IMHO
 
Personally I think the Quinteros are a little stronger but that's probably mostly because the Quinteros I've been smoking lately are Arpil, 2004 :0

In my experience, the Quinteros burn better and the Jose Piedras are a slightly "harsher"

That may have just sounded stupid but I measure "strength" in terms of the nicotine content, etc. and when I say "harsh" I mean that it burns hot which may be caused by the fact that the Jose Piedras I've smoked in the past may have been on the dry side.
 
I have a source for Quintero Londres Extras from 1993 for $81 USD +shipping (around $25) or Londres Extras from 1998 for $73 +shipping. Also can get the Nacionales for $77 USD +shipping. PM me if you want to order some.
