I'm thinking the Cd would be on the order of 0.4. But the small frontal area will make up for quite a bit.

No specific reasons, but I see lots of places for vortexes to form and for flow to be disrupted.

I would think that overall drag would be quite good, but more because frontal area is very low than because of a low Cd.
