Silound's Dog-Rocket Review Challenge!

#6...

This cigar has a cedar wrapper, looks pretty decent wrapper wise.... light tobacco smell to it.

When lighting it, it's decent, smooth, especially on the exhale. It has a strange flavor in your
mouth, something almost like a weak chemical flavor....

The cigar continues to grow in the chemical flavor... I have to take back my word... this cigar is terrible...
if you could smoke it through your nose it'd be great... nose exhale has a mild tobacco flavor, though the chemical
taste is just something I'm having a hard time getting over.

Construction and Ash are average, flavor is disgusting...

It's a tangy zing on your tongue kind of flavor... I'm not going to nub this thing....

I will say it gives off a huge amount of smoke that is very smooth, I love this about the cigar.
The nose exhale is mild tobacco "leather" and pleasant, something that's about average flavor.

In the mouth however, it's like I'm licking a marker. Brother I don't know WTF this was but throw them away.


Pictures to be posted later...

*snickers softly*

Smoked number 7 yesterday too... why? Because I hate myself?


dare I say lancero?

stick smells good, like tobacco.

Taste is mild leather with light spice. This cigar is pretty good...doubt I'll change this view...

smooth smoke, lingering aftertaste of the spice that's tingling the tip of my tongue and lips, this is a pleasant smoke.

The flavor profile of a light leather / tobacco, with spice that gets stronger as the stick burns, leaving a smoldering burn. There is nothing special about this cigar that I enjoyed particularly. The nose exhale was excellent emphasizing the above flavors and hinting at a toasted something or another, did not burn my nose, just my lips and tongue. This was a pleasant burn, nothing too strong. Aftertaste was that of licking a cigar wrapper, not too good, not too bad.

Silound, honestly I wouldn't say this one is a dog rocket. I might be inclined to buy one from time to time if the price point was low, though would not have a problem smoking it again.

Whatever.... not like I smoke 3-4 cigars a day and choose not to do these because I'm being lazy

Less slack, more reviews!

Dan, sounds like he may want some cremosas in the mail.

Yar I do have some... PM me your addy

So I'm starting stick 8.. I brought a hoyo des dieux to compare flavors

To start, this stick is rolled tight, has a veiny wrapper. Prelight draw is a sweet leather, something refreshing tasting.

Did I mention this thing was tighter than a vir*** on prom night?

Initial thoughts, it's got a little bit of non pleasant spice hitting between the tip and middle tongue. Also it's giving a flavor of spoiled tobacco. This smoke is very smooth though, no harshness to be found. Too bad it has no good flavors to it.

The band is starting to unravel from the foot, though the cigar is spongy and has been kept at 67% RH I feel like I'm trying to suck a triple thick shake through a straw... just not working...

I gave this cigar another 20 minutes till my jaw hurt. my tongue is burning from the spice and I have a rather unpleasant flavor in it. I'm actually interested in trying a second that hopefully wouldn't be plugged... interested in a trade Silound?

WAIT.... NEVER MIND!!!! I forgot I have 8 more of these to go.

No. 9.

No pics, smoked in the truck while doing errands...

The wrapper is very smooth and looks well put together. Feels a little tight, no real smell to the cigar. It has a taste of hay on the prelight draw. The cut was good.

Upon lighting up the hay was gone. I received a blast of harsh spice and tobacco. The nose exhale surprisingly worked...or maybe I'm just burning my nose all with these dog rockets? Anyways as the cigar progressed it had a flavor change, it took on the taste of burnt grilled vegetables...

To put an idea on this flavor, get a green pepper, go out to your grill, and leave it on there till it turns black. Eat that black stuff. That is what this cigar tasted like. I set it down about half way to mail a few boxes, came back and it was still smoldering, I just did a little touch up and it was good to go. Roughly 1/3 left and I pitched it to the gutter gods. After this I smoked a partagas lonesdale and oliva o classic maduro. Really puts a perspective on what you're missing and gaining on purchasing quality smokes.

Cumon Mark, you're slacking! Dan's gotten you beat by like 5 cigars!


Dan....only 7 more left to smoke!




Oh yeah guys, I forgot. I may have come across another nasty crap stick in my travels, and I think this one tastes worse than any of the others. You guys interested in a 17th stick?

My stomach just turned and made a groaning sound...... I'll give it a go.... Have you smoked a cremosa?

UGH....ok, ok. Damn you.

Dog Rocket #6

Silound's description: Where did I die and end up in hell for buying these Nicaraguan crap sticks? I hand these out to people who beg for a cigar.


My take: A torpedo shaped cigar with a cedar sleeve, which was obviously used to cover up one of the butt ugliest wrappers I've ever seen. The cigar is heavy and feels solid though. Pre light draw is....aww man, not again! Moldy hay. Silound, do you keep your humidor in a barn?

First few draws are sour and grassy. The aroma coming from the foot is AWFUL. Like burning urine. Like if you peed on a grill or something.

About 1" in, and the flavor has changed to match the aroma. Scorched urine. Imagine peeing on a restaurant-style flat grill and breathing and tasting the smoke from your burning pee. This cigar is pure torture. Interrogators could make terrorists confess simply by lighting one of these cigars and blowing smoke in their faces.

2" in...oh my god this cigar tastes awful...but what a complex smoke! The aroma of scorched urine has been replaced by a stench sort of like an overheated car engine. Like burning oil or power steering fluid.

Gawd, man, the flavor of this "cigar" is unbearable. It tastes like a dead animal smells. Like picking up a dead rat, lighting its face, and puffing on its butthole.

I can't take any more. This is probably the worst cigar I've ever had.

Nah, keep that 17th stick. And shove it up your ass.

This is by far the funniest post I've seen on CA. I read this entire thread and I can't wait for the next review. Keep them coming.

That is one of the funniest, and most disturbing, analogies I've ever read!

Gonna do the last 2 this weekend.

The cremosa wasn't that bad, I didn't say it was great or anything. It just wasn't as bad as I thought it would have been. I have tasted worse.

lol you know you should stop peeing on your cigars before you smoke them....

Try the microwave for 15 seconds or so.... then store them for a month.... might get rid of that mustiness.
