Defiance Cigars

These are made for Xikar. While the concept is cool the cigar sucks. I was given one to try and it's ridiculous. The concept is that they will donate 5% of all wholesale sales in your state to a pro-tobacco lobbying group in your state. That's cool. Well, kind of. Take Minnesota for example. I bet they'd be hard pressed to sell 10 boxes across the state every month, which means 40 per quarter. With a wholesale price of around $67, that's only $134 per quarter (the frequency in which they'll pay the organization).

What's not cool is that Xikar is willing to put their name on such a piece of shit. With the price of cigars what they are today because of taxes and crap, you get one chance to impress a smoker, or they'll go back to spending their money on what they know they like and is reliable. And then they won't even recommend it to their fellow smokers.

Don't waste your money on this one, just send the 5-8 bucks to your local lobbyist instead, it's better spent that way.
