I’m not a cigar-lover anyway, but was highly curious to taste it; it didn’t taste too bad either.
After a few puffs I gifted it to the Burmese man standing next to me, who seemed very excited to see the cigar when I brought it out.
It is customary for the older generation (grandparents) to enjoy smoking these handmade cigars and they are truly unique to Myanmar.
