Not that all Cubans are great cigars but just like any other country/brand/etc. in the business; you'll get many good cigars and a few bad ones. Just that no other cigar has the "twang" that a Cuban has.
The Siglo VI is well worth the money even out the box and I'm going to ferment a box sooner or later over the years whenever I put aside the money for it. It lives up to all the hype around it too.
