Cu Avana Punisher
 

I. Can't. Feel. My. Lips.

Clayton takes a puff, dabs blood off his lips and then takes another draw.

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

Wimp!!!!!!!

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

Once you get past the initial trauma of the skin peeling off your lips, it turns into a fabulous smoke. Still enjoying it.

Clinton would not have used THIS cigar!

:r :r :r

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

Mac, did you finish yours????

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

Heck I can barely stomach the Intenso so I'll be steering clear of this one.

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

I like em for some reason first one was super spicy last few not so much

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

I'm slightly scared of trying one based off what I've heard, but my adventurous side always gets the best of me so its only a matter of time before I hunt one down

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

It is a great cigar after the numbness sets in!!!
I nubbed one!

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

:r

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

I believe I have four left...need another? :D

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

Mac, what did you bomb me? :r

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

Joel...told you that was for all the crap you gave me in my Mets banter. :r :r Enjoy!! :D

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

Still have the one you sent me. Bring them to EPIC, am sure someone there have not heard of them!!!!!:banger

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

That's not playing fair Mac!!! :r:r

I will say it was better than the Gurkha EricF pulled out :tu

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

Got the wife interested in this one:
I like spicy, but she likes burning.
:tu

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

Do you need one Mark? :D

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

:l
Such generosity here; thank you for the offer, sir, but I am scared to say 'yes'; if she likes it and finishes it - everyone is happy. What worries me is if she takes 3 hits and leaves the rest for me to endure through.
:fl

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

Look on the bright side...your lips will already be numb. :D

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

That's because the first one killed all the nerve endings!

I'm checking myself into the UAB burm unit for skin grafts.

It was quite a good stick once the screaming and cursing subsided.

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

I've had one of these sitting in the humi for a couple of months now & haven't been brave enough to try it. You sir, are a braver man than I. Though I think I may have heard the screaming and cursing all the way out at my place.

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

I just got bombed one and you guys are scaring me. I had no clue it was like this, I might have to smoke it this week, on a full stomach of course.

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

Unless you like smoking jalepeno peppers, stay away from this one! At least for the first 1/3! :fl

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

Who would do such a thing? :r :r

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

I inadvertently lit one of these up on a fishing trip late one night over the summer. Totally caught me off guard, imagine my surprise! In all honesty though... This really is a great smoke, imho. You just have to get past that initial shock value. Subsequent smokes haven't been nearly as bad, simply because I now know what to expect.

That all said... I've never been a big fan of gimmickry and this smacks of it. I'd love this cigar more if it didn't utilize this specific gimmick.

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

hahaha full stomach will not help better have milk lmao :D actually the last one i had I paired with hot nachos and beer went great together

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

Found it to be a gimmick that I did not enjoy. I really didn't care if the cigar was decent except for the pepper-tip. I always say that I won't make up my mind about a cigar until I've tried two or three. However, I won't have another one of these.

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

I singed my moustache. Skin grafts are healed.

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

I nubbed one, it is a good cigar!:dr (and I needed to feel manly that day!)
You just gotta get past the habenero infused first third:tu

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

Think you could take a moist paper towel and wipe off whatever they put on the wrapper?

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

I believe you can Rob. After a couple of puffs it goes away. It is also only near the cap, I licked most of the shaft.

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

I love really hot/spicy food, something feels lacking if the fumes from my Thai food isn't making my eyes water. That being said, I'm not too certain I'd enjoy a cigar with the similar effects as burning/tingling lips don't really set of flavors, just a reaction. I would give it a whirl given the chance but don't see myself buying one of these sticks, unless maybe to pull a prank on a buddy.

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

Really, you are really going to say that........to easy :sl:sl

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

Yeah I let that comment slide, was way too easy.

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

I've mostly heard that they are pretty good smokes minus the initial fire, I might grab a few and try to skip the gimmick. Even though I do like hot food.

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

Ouch!

I can only imagine. I have had a couple and only get about half way through.

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

Oooookayyy then

:r

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

I'll try one mac :r

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

Wow, I would have thought Justin would have learned about noob mistakes by now. Next thing you know he'll post another picture showing how empty his humidor is again!

:gary :D

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

I look at these occasionally and if I find one in a sampler with other sticks I want I'll probably grab it, but I'm just not interested in picking up a fiver of sticks to try one if there's a pretty high chance of not liking it.

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

He is an eternal noob!!! Just accept him for what he is!!:noon

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

Bomb Justin!

:D

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

Just think Steve...tomorrow, you'll finally be able to try this stick. :D :D

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

:tf

Remember, Justin is the one that has the empty humidorS and asked :D

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

I still haven't been brave enough to try this thing; it just sits there in my humidor, glaring at me.

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

So how did it smoke Mac? :D

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

Haven't finished one completely myself. Got half way done with one. :D

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

Only half way Mac...?

I am actually looking forward to smoking the one you gave me one of these days. I may even make a pot of my Chernobyl God/Sun Spot Special Chili to go along with it.

Re: Cu Avana Punisher
 

Putty tat!
