Setting: Sitting in the garage, about 50 degrees out at 3pm. Considering cranking on the heater. Pairing the smoke with a Barq's.

Pre-light: Well, the "cigar" comes in its own coffin packed with tobacco leaves. The cigars wrapper was a deep chocolate brown, with smallish veins. It had a couple patches as well as one hole that was left unpatched about 2mm big. The smoke is pretty firmly packed with only a couple soft spots. The smell off the foot is light and smells faintly like Captain Black pipe tobacco. I cut the cap and the pre-light draw was snug with the same CB flavor.

First Third: The cigar lit up easily enough, and the smoke was light and had that kind of roasty pipe tobacco taste to it. Nothing nauseating yet, but I can tell I'm going to be in for a long day. The flavors and finish are very mild, not sure if that is a complaint or a blessing. About 3/4" in I had to touch it up as the burn was getting overyly wonky. The draw is still a bit tough so I tried another cut of the cap. Didn't help. I'm hoping it will open up as I get to the 'egg' part of the smoke, as I'm starting to get a headache suckin on this thing like a too thick milkshake. This thing gives of a crazy amount of resting smoke. Wish that much came out of the foot. Sort of.

Second Third: The draw has freed up a bit, but I think it was some mashing around the head that did it. The flavors are of light cocoa and a slight woody taste. Ok, just got back from throwing up. Seriously. Don't think it was the flavors of the cigar, I think it was due to drawing so hard I inhaled. Eh, back to the grind. The body of the smoke is still mild and the finish is short. Though the Totino's pizza I had for lunch an hour ago has added a nice piquant pepperoni flavor to the aftertaste. I'm surprised, as part of the natural line, that this has no "infused" flavor to it, just mild tobacco. As the burn gets to the center of the egg the cigar gets very soft. The middle third takes a painfully long time to smoke through.

Final thoughts: Ok, I hope you guys will forgive me, but the headache and continuing dry heaves are compelling me to call it quits. I really wanted to take this one to the end, but sadly it's not to be. Thanks Patrick for the opprotunity to enjoy this gem.

Smoke again: No thanks
Buy again: Didn't buy this one, but no.
Reccommend: Depends on how much I dislike the guy.

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

Steve, only one question: WHY?!

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

That thing has the worst pull and gives you the biggest headache take a tbs of sugar should help a little bit. I smoked one a while back it was just so i could say i did.

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

Blowin chunks and carry on.......

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

I have both flavors in the humi! Just waiting for a time to try one. (I'll make sure to have a puke bucket handy). :)

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

Thanks for taking one for the team.:tu

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

That is what I call dedication :tu

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

usted tiene huevos grandes

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

As always, a great review and very nice pictures. Throwing up and returning to the smoke, you are the man Steve.

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

Next time, just let it hatch- you'll have a cute little Maduro running around.

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

Nice! That second picture of the cigar being smoked does look like a chicken leg dipped in bird crap...lol

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

That is about as far as I could smoke mine last year.

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

:tpd: I think you may be a little crazy though Steve :r

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

You gave your body up for that review, I like that...

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

Wow Steve, what can I say? Amazing to man-up through the dry heaves.:tu
Now we have see how MOBD likes his! :r

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

Bob gifted me one a few months back! I think I'll bring it to the Herf this weekend!!!

But with all the great food I doubt I'll have "dry" heaves!!!:pu

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

I would never try to smoke one. You sir are a manly man.

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

Did you buy that thing or find it growing in a cow pasture?

I have wondered what one of those things would be like, thanks for providing the revue as I for sure would have never tried one myself.:tu

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

Now that's dedication to a review!

You da man Steve, you da man...

:banger

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

Wow! Amazing review :r:r:r

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

What a trooper, you smoked about 99% more than I ever would of that stick

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

Fun at least! Nice Review!

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

Funny review, lol! Though as other threads have said, the Naturals line is NOT infused, never ever. Hence the name Naturals to distinguish it from the ACIDS and DE's other infused sticks. Some of the Naturals do have sweetened tips, though, kinda like the Flor de Oliva (but a bit more). That's easy enough to get rid of though if you don't like it.

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

Darrell's herf is coming to mind. I hope Kriss keeps a hose handy, so you can clean up after yourself.:banger

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

One of the local B&M managers had a natural at a party but I didn't stay for the entire thing. The girlfriend was nagging me to go. I wonder what happened with that. I digress , good review!

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

Great review!
Has anyone ever nubbed one?

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

If you come to the Barn Herf, you can help us PPP one and you can have the nub!!!:tu

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

^^^Edited^^^

Enjoy that egg Darrell, but please keep your nub to yourself.:r

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

You sound like my wife!!!:r

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

Haha I guess I skipped the part when Steve, said he threw up. What a soldier, throw up and come back to smoke it.

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

That egg looks like a cigar stuffed with a cigar that was stuffed with another cigar. Kinda the "turduckin" of the cigar world.:r
Thanks for takin one for the team Steve!:tu

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

For some reason when I read the tittle the first thing I associated it with was the BME Pain Olympics (if you're at work or have a weak stomach and don't know what that is, trust me dont look)

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

Steve... you da man!

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

You've got more balls than I do. I don't know that I would be able to smoke one of those, unless they started making Liga Privada #9 eggs. Then I say bring the pain!

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

Nice. I've got a Perdomo Immensa that someone gifted me that i just haven't been able to bring myself to smoke. After reading this egg review, I think it may need to get done.

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

This was the funniest review I've ever read.

Re: The Egg Maduro. Yes, I smoked it.
 

I remember buying some cigars long ago that came in that type of compressed wood box and the cigars were absolutely awful. They improved quite a bit when removed from the box and rested in the cedar humidor for a spell.

Maybe you should try again
