This. But it's not just CI; if you believe any of the flowery descriptions you read in the Holts' catalog or on Famous' site about their el cheapo "deals," you're falling into their trap.

For the maximum expression of this phenomenon I heartily recommend the El Mejor lines from CI. They're the very finest in dyed garbage sticks anywhere.
