Price: ?

Overall Rating: Did I Like the cigar? No

The cigar looked very good and tempting; but when I began to smoke it, I was very disappointed: it was very hard to draw, and I had to keep puffing to keep it lit; and it did not seem to have any taste to it. I could say that I smoked a cigar, but I did not enjoy the cigar that I smoked.

It was a gift, and I'm not sure about the price. I think that it was about $5.00.

I would not recommend it; however, this one (which is the only one that I smoked) may have been a bad one.
