I still have a handful of the Robert Burns Clear Havanas, for extremely special occasions.

I love how the pre-embargo Cuban cigar makers would go so far as to include the name of the vitola on the band! It shows how much they cared for their product and reputation.

I just finished this bad boy. It wasn't that good.
I found it sweet and musky. Very thin smoke, and burned like notebook paper.
About 6X54 and took less then an hour.
For $6.50 you could do 100 times better. :-)
