Which HoB? Where?

Without any doubt at all, they upsold a DR brand. They might have put their own label on it, they might have commissioned a special blend rolled for them, you might have been drunk, but without a doubt, it's not a Cuban cigar.

Sorry you had to pay $25 for a good smoke, but at least it was a good smoke!
