Pretty much, except almost all machine made cigars contain a variety of added chemicals like cigarettes do. There used to be a small number of machine made brands that contained 100% tobacco with no additives.
It's also a question of just nicotine delivery versus the pleasurable experience.
And then there's the taxes thing.
Not to worry, the last thing I’m burning will be a store-bought machine made. Muchly prefer the hand-rolled from DR.
I have had a box of small machine mades, from a small maker in DR that I personally know, that uses their own 100% cigar tobacco from their hand roll trimmings and that has no chemical. The catch is I have to buy them at the Santiago factory as they are mostly local consumed.
