Default ACID - Kuba Kuba

I was gifted this cigar a week or so ago. I had been keeping it in a box that I want start using for dry boxing. So I took it to work with me for my after work smoke.

Quitting time came and I grabbed a bottle of (high quality) h2o and headed for the door. It was a nice night. Not too cold. Not windy.

The cigar felt firm. It smelled okay. This is my first flavored cigar and my it's all my friend Manny smokes so I'm curious. I punch a hole in the end and take a pre-light draw. What the...?! I didn't know it was sweetened! The draw was good, but the flavor on my lips was awful. Maybe, I thought, that after the first couple of puffs that the flavor would die down.

It lit nicely... but I have to wrap this up quickly. I threw it away after five puffs.

I could not handle the smell or the taste. The flavor was like old perfume or something. I tried to stay with it for a few minutes because I thought that someone would say, "After the first inch the 'old perfume' flavor dies down and it really comes into its own." Well, I'll never know.

I had to brush my teeth and eat some M&Ms to get that taste out of my mouth.

I know some people really like them, and good for them. But it's not for me.

Cheers,
Michael

And that doesn't even count for my seventh review.
