So, by all means, smoke it. But don't blame me for the results.

That is some nasty mojo. Makes sense as since it's fake it's not like they have any stake in the brand or a reputation at stake and it's just about making the cigar cheap. Stuff anything in that can be hidden by just enough tobacco to fool the consumer.

Wow.
