My coworker brought these in to work just as I was trying to come up with a challenge idea. I thought these were perfect, so I ripped up a box and made a "mini studio" and used a black shirt as a backdrop. The whole thing was lit from above using an overhead bank of flourescent lights, which seemed to work ok.

The blue cap hurts this image dramitacally. I would also like to see more light fall off or a darker upper left and lower right corner it would help to focus the eye better

Nice and smooth look, can almost smell those cigars, yes, a sign of affluence if those are real Cubans :)

Not a bad shot, but might be more interesting if it was cropped closer in. The expanse of brown doesn't really add to the shot for me.
