The Take
Cigars hit 84 slop. They are nicotine delivery wrapped in rolled leaf and marketing, with exploitative farming, baked-in addiction, and zero upside beyond the ritual.
The single-ingredient leaf avoids seed oils but changes nothing about the health or wallet tax.
The Verdict
Skip cigars entirely. Buy a cast iron skillet instead — one purchase, lasts generations, no addiction tax. Slop Score 84.
