Gurkha Grand Reserve

I had one of these a year or so ago. The cognac smell definitely gets out of the tube even if you don't break the seal. I would smoke it ASAP.

Here is a review I did on it: http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=11653

Three or four years ago, someone bombed me with one of these very cigars. Since I sure as hell wasn't going to smoke it, it sat in my humidor for seven or eight months, never leaked cognac odor/aroma at all. Well, that was until the day I went to pack it up to send off to someone else - I must have twisted the faux-wax seal a bit and OMG, el stinko...

I'd throw it in the garbage. Can't give it to our troops, since they deserve better and the Geneva convention specifically outlaws chemical weapons like this. Not much else you could do with it; maybe pull it out of the tube and chuck it down a gopher hole, then pack dirt in behind it and poison the little bastards with the stench. You could also save it until someone breaks into your house and after you pump a few rounds into them and they are laying there bleeding and dying, you can bust this thing out and stuff it in their mouth so that they really understand just how wrong what they did was.
