That's a shame

They have been by far my favorite cigar for the past year or so

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.

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

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.

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.

LFD Digger Maduro & an M80 (I accidentally inhaled while relighting

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.

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?
