My worst cigar..so far.
One of the absolute worst "premium" cigars I believe I have ever smoked was an Onyx Reserve Mini Belicoso. I know the cigars were stored properly, as I was the one to open the box to put them on display. I thought "what the hell" it's a maduro, and I love maduros.... Boy was I in for one hell of a shock, the wrapper was dark and didn't have too many veins. It did have some tooth to it. Pre light draw was ok, not outstanding, a pronounced sweetness maybe a little floral note too.
The cigar just didn't taste right from the beginning, the cigar tasted almost as if someone grabbed a handful of hay and rolled it into a maduro wrapper I could almost taste a hint of burning plastic also. the draw wasn't extremely easy but it was tough to get a decent amount of smoke. I fought with the first inch or so of the cigar, no leather taste, no cocoa, no coffee. just the taste of acrid smoke. needless to say the cigar ended up on my lawn and was mulched by my lawnmower a few days later. I can liken the taste of that cigar to what a car fire smells like... terrible. I haven't since picked up an onyx cigar, but I might have to give it a go just to see if the first was a fluke. |
