Bad cigar night

Not sure if you have ever had one, I have before but not this bad. Not sure if it was the cigars or I just wasn't supposed to smoke this day. It started out with a Camacho Habano from a gifted MAW. I asked for a mix of Camachos to try.

This was my first try with this stick. The one other Camacho I have tried (corojo maduro) is excellant so I had high hopes for this one. The pre-light smell was one of immense leather, not subtle at allNot so, this stick started off incredibly bitter and sour. it took almost a 1/4" before this cigar started to back down on the taste. It was all I could do to get this far. The sourness and bitterness started to fade to a low taste and then a strong tobacco taste started to appear.... So 20 min in and almost an inch it it had to die. Very nasty cigar, but YMMV.

Cigar #2 - I pulled out a Cohiba Maduro robusto sized stick I just received from a friend who just returned from overseas. No issues with it's pedigree. Bland is the only word for it. I passed it to another frind who had joined me at the bar and he also agreed - bland. Just no flavor at all. The Secretos version is definitly better. It went into the ash tray at the 1/2 way point.

Waited a 1/2 hour and thought one left in the 3 finger case a Gurk Legend. I know I like this one so I had high hopes. Well I either was corrupted by the first two or was no longer in the mood and it died at the 1/2 way point. What a suck night - at least the bourbon was cold.
