My reasons for not smoking the usual brands found in drug stores and gas stations are:

1. Horrible construction- Nicotine soaked paper binders that make them just as addictive(sp?) as cigarettes. Short filler, which IMO never tastes as good as long filler. Wrappers do not taste as good either. Just plain shotty.

2. Additives- These cigars are produced very cheaply, and are Mass-Market products, just like cigarettes. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to find that the filler is the same tobacco for MM cigarettes.

3. Enjoyment- I would rather smoke something that I am actually looking forward to. I have smoked a few of the MMs in the beginnings of my courtship with cigars, and I will never go back to them.

Hope this helps.
