even a white owl will draw. You should expect a draw for a dollar cigar.

You can't compare mass produced, machine made cigars to hand made cigars. If a hand made retails for a buck, there's a very good reason why. Usually because it's an unsmokeable POS.
My coolers are full of cigars I paid $1 to $2 for. The difference is, CI sells them day in and day out to other folk for $6 to $10.
For a long time, before I developed technics to win good cigars for pennies on the dollar, I tried to find that cheap, hidden gem. I can tell you from hundreds of experiences that those cheap bundle cigars are for the most part, extremely inconsistent. In the same bundle you will get cigars that are plugged, others that are so tightly rolled that they are unsmokable, and ones that are so loosely rolled, they burn hot. These are usually rolled by the least experienced, or lowest skilled rollers, and sometimes, they are "practice" cigars for new rollers in training. Of course they are also going to use crap tobacco in these, that is not fit for their better cigars.
You can do like I did, and waste a ton of money trying to find that great $1 retail cigar, or listen to the words of experience, and realize that it just doesn't exist.
