Cigar Aficionado is absolutely crazy

I know they have always been crazy with their reviews (12 year old Madagascar vanilla, etc.), but I was reading their review in the 2009 calendar for the month of July is as follows:

Nub Habano 358
"It's fat and stubby but attractive and draws well. There's an initial cedar blast in the smoke that also shows coffee and a touch of pencil lead flavor"

Now, when was the last time you walked into your local B&M and asked them for a cigar that tastes like pencil lead?

How do you even know what pencil lead tastes like unless you ate pencils as a kid?
