steamboat well...in my own way(i suppose i ramble at times)i was trying to say yes machine made cuban cigars are worth it and have their time and place. i will bring a 30$ box of smokes home from cuba(many times) and i will smoke machine made cigars in cuba if i feel like one. hope you you...

i read the thread title(then clicked)...already preparing a repy...the answers are/were not what i expected. first let me state...money is not the issue(if the only good cigars out there were 100$ each i could/can still afford them). for me the size is what means the most...the closer the cigar...
