I wondered that, too. When I was just getting going in this hobby a very generous man sent me my first Clear Havana cigar - a Charles Denby. He asked me if I planned to smoke it and my reply was "I am not a cigar collector." I smoked it. I enjoyed it. I still buy Clear Havanas when I can find them. I'm always on the lookout for pre-embargoes, but haven't yet found any in my price range.
