Default Lars Tetens Gorillafinger thumb maduro

The ring 60 cigars were delivered in a special box, a sort of airtight Tupperware box and all the cigars were packed individually in a seal bag with a small sponge. Just smelling the sponge almost made me faint, what a terrible smell, a mix of eau de Cologne and toilet cleaner. The cigar is made of tobacco & herbs, and poured with Courvoisier cognac afterwards.

The cigars are pre cut and look terrible with their big veins and nasty black wrapper. The wrapper is also frayed. This cigar scares me, the looks, and the smell; do I really want to smoke this? Will I live to tell about it?

The flavors of the cigar are herbs with a fresh sweetness and something bitter. I could taste the cognac, which I like to drink with my cigar, not taste in my cigar. I could also taste tobacco, ash and at times some harsh bitter cacao.

The smoke is thick and white, the ash isn’t very firm.

Would I buy this cigar again? Not if it was the last cigar in the world.

you never let me have any fun

Just giving people a chance to try these without wasting their money on
them. It is an experience that will make you appreciate any other cigar, no
matter how bad.

For some reason I'm just not feeling the love. I'll promise you guys this though. I will not leave Iraq without smoking my Lars. Ok, that is not fair. I promise I won't leave Iraq without lighting my Lars. After that, any Gorillafinger induced vomitting may prevent me from finishing.

Hey, I sent something nice as well, the whole lars tetens thing started as a
joke in the cs chat room , besides it kind of evened out the package.

That Lars guy makes some weird @#*&! He has some of the most bizarre cigars. Gotta be worse than anything Jonathan Drew can think up.

Lars or real name (David A Gossen), showed the drew bros the way to infuse cigars and they left and repeated his process.
