You aint going to get much feedback on cigalikes here, besides they suck.
Harsh throat hit is usually from cheap nicotine/high mg. If they work GREAT, but they are expensive and usually have poor quality. Around here a 3pack of enjoys is $33. You can get a nice set up that will last alot longer for that price. Also once you get into more advanced stuff it becomes a hobby
You might want to try the cigalike subforms for more interest.
