Get the Hunt and bag mission mug.A type of quest or journey in which the end goal is attaining a dirty stanky kukki vagina that has reached vag cig status. A cunthole that smells like a cigarette. Usually from a woman who smokes or a woman whose beaver box has had lit cigarettes places in it and or a lot of cig smoke blown into it.
The mission for vag cig can only be completed by the bravest and most determined poon hunters. A Vag cig is much more desirable than a traditional fish smelling twat.
