Hey, also -- how do you smoke the things? Do you pull them apart or stick the whole thing in your mouth? Looks odd to me. Maybe I'm not a man unless I've tried one; is that the attraction?

The Culebras that's been on display here consists of 3 smokes. I've never had one, but expects each one to be enjoyed individually. The origin of the Culebra is, as far as I've understood, from tobacco factories in Cuba where workers were alowed to take the seconds (or thirds) that were misproduced. These cigars were twisted (into Culebras), and therefore very easy to spot in difference to the regular produced stuff, which noone were allowed to bring home for free. - Culebras were easy regoniseable free cigars for the workers. Since then, some bloke thought they looked cool and made a real production of them.

i guess the answer to my initial question, is that so far we have not found anyone who has actually tried a "culebra"... there is one being auctioned right now, but it is gonna take at least $10 to win, i can get a good cigar that i know i like for that much or less...
