Were talking hand rolled and proportedly 100% tobacco.
We talk a lot about the best well to have a best there must be a worst.
For me it was a bundle I bought at CI 50 for $ 39.00
Cremosa Cubana
Heres a quick review: (Hey its my first how appropriate)
The pre light aroma reminded me of the smell you get when you wash your dog. After cutting the head I noticed a slight unraveling which I corrected with licking. The taste from licking probably was similar to the wet dog but I have no frame of reference.
The prelight draw was loose and emparted a flavor of rotten meat. Upon lighting I noticed a strong dirty diaper odor followed by hints of effluent.
The burn was political - all down one side or the other. I tried to correct but didnt want to put my tongue on any other part of the stick.
As I aproached the 1/2 way point the cigar actually looked embarrassed, each side of the cigar had these little flaps curling out like shrugging shoulders.
Just past the 1/2 way point it started to tunnel and almost burned my lips.
I put it out and threw the other 49 away. No one deserves these.
Speculation on manufacturing method:
The Wrapper they say is Sumatra. It must have floated over on its own cause it dont taste like any tobacco I've every smoked.
They say these have Dominican Long-fillers maybe some kind of vegetable. Possibly once they have made real had rolled cigars, taken the scraps and made short filler, the remainder they gather up, boil into a guey paste, roll it out into thin sheets, let it dry and thats the long filler they mean here.
Truly the pinnicle of bad.
