It was a shame, I really enjoyed the flavors, but the nic hit me hard and I had to toss it. Maybe it was just the day or something else but I was reeling pretty good.

I have one of those in my cooler-dor. Thanks for the warning

FYI, do not smoke a cigar and then go out for a ride. Ask me how I know this!

I was working on my top end rebuild on my '06 Crf450 when I smoked the Bone Crusher. Maybe a few years in the humi will mellow this out though.

In nine years of cigars, only two have made me queasy and only three others I can recall thinking, "Man, this is REALLY strong!"

I was literally punished by both a LFD DL 700, and a fresh JDN Antano Gran Consul; both on empty stomach.

The OR El Rico Habano and LFD Cheroot (Icepick), both mentioned above, and the OR El Cobre all made me sit back and say, "Whoa! I better be careful with this one".
Funny, now that I think about it, I got all three of those from the same shop - Empire in Raleigh. Must be something in the water down there

Any other brave souls here smoke an entire punisher? Definitely hurting after that one.

Sort of. Not as designed, though. After about 15 minutes of suffering through the Tabasco gimmick, I wet the entire head/shoulders and wiped it down with a napkin. Tolerable enough to finish, but won't have another. Once the pepper sauce was gone, it wasn't terribly strong.

I actually had to look these up, as I've heard them mentioned in passing, but never really knew anything about them. From all the reviews I read, it seems these are just pure on pepper flavor. Now I'm a fan of hot sauce and spicy foods, and I do enjoy a strong cigar from time to time, but this, no, just no.

I thought it was a figure of speech when I read the cigar's description. But those SOBs at cu-avana weren't kidding! That thing is literally coated with a substance that makes your lips burn.

Rob, FWIW, Cu-Avana isn't a company, it's just one of the many marques owned by Cigars International. The early/original mild Cu-Avana cigars were made by Manuel Quesada @ MATASA for CI, the Intensos were by Nestor Plasencia, but I have no idea who makes the Punisher for them.

Chainsaw13 · 12-19-2013, 07:12 PM

OR El Rico's and JdN Antano's gave me the heeby-geeby's, but the one that really got me was the OR Camacho Corojo. If you could make it through the first inch, it turned into a really nice cigar.

Smokin0808 · 12-22-2013, 10:34 AM

So far, and I still have very few under my belt, but it was a Perdomo 10th Anniversary Champagne. Good cigar, but the nicotine snuck up on me. Although, it was a big stick, in ring gauge and length.

Arval512 · 12-25-2013, 05:22 PM

Bolivar Royal Corona... Was marathon watching Hell on Wheels while puffing away. When I finished I laid down for bed. I thought I was on a roller coaster and got absolutely 0 sleep.

Catfish · 12-25-2013, 07:30 PM

Never been given 'baccy-belly by a stick. I've even asked for recommendations.

One fine day on Alex's pool deck, Ogre, Black Coral and snkbyt all sat around and watched and waited for a Cohiba red dot to kick my @ss.

Never happened.

Dude Here · 12-25-2013, 07:33 PM

Smoked a LFD El Jocko this afternoon while frying the turkey. Left my head spinning a bit afterwards. First time in a long while that's happened.

kelmac07 · 12-27-2013, 05:12 PM

Have to change mine...as I smoked the strongest one I've ever smoked today. LFD N.A.S., re-release of the LFD Icepick. I smoked this after four strong sticks and after I ate dinner and it still was a POWERHOUSE!! A Ligero Puro...strong as crap, but very tasty!!

icehog3 · 12-27-2013, 05:22 PM

What does the N.A.S. stand for, Mac, in case I am too lazy to Google?
