Wimp!!!!!!!

Once you get past the initial trauma of the skin peeling off your lips, it turns into a fabulous smoke. Still enjoying it.

Clinton would not have used THIS cigar!

Heck I can barely stomach the Intenso so I'll be steering clear of this one.

I'm slightly scared of trying one based off what I've heard, but my adventurous side always gets the best of me so its only a matter of time before I hunt one down

Such generosity here; thank you for the offer, sir, but I am scared to say 'yes'; if she likes it and finishes it - everyone is happy. What worries me is if she takes 3 hits and leaves the rest for me to endure through.

That's because the first one killed all the nerve endings!

I'm checking myself into the UAB burm unit for skin grafts.

It was quite a good stick once the screaming and cursing subsided.

I've had one of these sitting in the humi for a couple of months now & haven't been brave enough to try it. You sir, are a braver man than I. Though I think I may have heard the screaming and cursing all the way out at my place.

Unless you like smoking jalepeno peppers, stay away from this one! At least for the first 1/3! :fl

I inadvertently lit one of these up on a fishing trip late one night over the summer. Totally caught me off guard, imagine my surprise! In all honesty though... This really is a great smoke, imho. You just have to get past that initial shock value. Subsequent smokes haven't been nearly as bad, simply because I now know what to expect.

That all said... I've never been a big fan of gimmickry and this smacks of it. I'd love this cigar more if it didn't utilize this specific gimmick.

hahaha full stomach will not help better have milk lmao :D actually the last one i had I paired with hot nachos and beer went great together

Found it to be a gimmick that I did not enjoy. I really didn't care if the cigar was decent except for the pepper-tip. I always say that I won't make up my mind about a cigar until I've tried two or three. However, I won't have another one of these.

Think you could take a moist paper towel and wipe off whatever they put on the wrapper?

Zeuceone

11-02-2011, 03:06 PM

I believe you can Rob. After a couple of puffs it goes away. It is also only near the cap, I licked most of the shaft.

I love really hot/spicy food, something feels lacking if the fumes from my Thai food isn't making my eyes water. That being said, I'm not too certain I'd enjoy a cigar with the similar effects as burning/tingling lips don't really set of flavors, just a reaction. I would give it a whirl given the chance but don't see myself buying one of these sticks, unless maybe to pull a prank on a buddy.

I've mostly heard that they are pretty good smokes minus the initial fire, I might grab a few and try to skip the gimmick. Even though I do like hot food.

I look at these occasionally and if I find one in a sampler with other sticks I want I'll probably grab it, but I'm just not interested in picking up a fiver of sticks to try one if there's a pretty high chance of not liking it.

I am actually looking forward to smoking the one you gave me one of these days. I may even make a pot of my Chernobyl God/Sun Spot Special Chili to go along with it.

Don't try smoking one around your church buddies.

I think my old neighbr would love these. something about the way he routinely eats some of the hottest peppers in his garden. (jalopenos and habenaros)

Is there a difference between the Intenso and Punisher besides that initial heat? I was wondering if they're the same blend, sans the gimmick.

Too long ago, Mac gifted me one of these in a tubo. I tucked it away and forgot about it (probably on purpose, subconsciously).

Opening the humidor tonight, this thing just seemed to jump out to me. I figured it has rested long enough, maybe it's lost its punch.

One word, NOPE. My lips are burning. :r

Mac, I'm smilimg as I'm thinking of you tonight smoking this gift. I'll consider it punishment for both of us, as your Mets and my Phillies are both on the outside looking in for the WC race.

Thank you Mac, miss you buddy.
