A lot of times counter-intuitive is spot on.
When a cigar has a rumpled, loose-fitting wrapper or a tiny crack or hole, you would be surprised on what a
severe effect that has on smoke production. It may combust, but something about that irregularity in the
wrapper gives you as much AIR as smoke in the draw, leading to the "illusion" of less smoke production on
a draw that seems fine. If in the end you care less about quirks than you do money, go for the cheaper option.
