Now, when was the last time you walked into your local B&M and asked them for a cigar that tastes like pencil lead? How do you even know what pencil lead tastes like unless you ate pencils as a kid?
Reminds me of the Fuego 777 I tried to smoke this weekend. The first taste I recognized was pencil lead.
