Montano Cigar #1
**************

This cigar has the feel of a slight box press. Pre-light draw was very tight and did not give any flavor.

The first 3rd did not produce any discernible flavors. I had to stay on top of it to keep it lit. I can only imagine that this is what it would be like to try and suck a golf ball through a garden hose.

Heading into the 2nd third, I knew I would need some help if I was going to finish this smoke. I headed inside to grab a bottle of bourbon and my super secret cigar poker. I stabbed this thing 3 times, but it still had a tight draw.

Continuing on, it was much of the same. No flavor to speak of, and my cheeks were getting a bit sore. A refill on the bourbon seemed to help a little.

Heading down the home stretch, I can honestly say I couldn't wait for this to end. The only thing I can compare it to, would be smoking an old pizza box. It got a bit harsh towards the end, and reminded me of smoking a cigarette, which I haven't done in 20 years.

On a 1 to 10 scale, I would have to give this baby a -1.
