So, last night, I was smoking an Illusione Holy Lance and I was about to hit that point (usually about 60% of the way in) where a lot of cigars start to pick up some creaminess in their flavor. When it hit, in this one, it was a very fatty taste of full, heavy cream as opposed to that I get with most sticks- a flavor I would describe more as "milk solids". This alone was a new experience, but here's where it gets crazy, and I swear this is the truth.

The last puff I took before the whole cream appeared: dry cat food. Yes, distinctly.

I had a good, long laugh about the cat food/whole cream one-two punch. I guess the Holy Lance is really a cigar for pussies.

Can anyone share a similar experience? Not cat food, necessarily, but the appearance of a flavor utterly out of left-field and not in any way vague? What startled you?
