German term

Zigarre mit wunderbarem Zug

German to English Marketing Esoteric practices Tobacco
Eine robuste Zigarre mit wunderbarem Zug und mit einem fröhlichen roten Ring, der sich um eine der erfolgreichsten und für ihre Zuverlässigkeit bekannten Vitolas windet und die einen ganz speziellen Geschmack der kubanischen Erde besitzt.
'Zug' probably has more entries than any other noun in the DE-EN dictionary. In British English you might take a 'drag on a fag'. Any cigar smokers out there with the term a connoisseur might use?

a cigar you puff away and it puffs you away
