Cu-Avana Punisher... It tastes like burning - Page 3

neoflex · 06-20-2011, 08:36 PM

Funny I was just looking at these in the new Cigar.com catalog and thought, "What a dumb F'in name and the v as a u is even more ridiculous." From the sounds of it I might as well try smoking the pepper shaker in the kitchen to get the same experience. Big pass from this guy right here.

Sounds like a great cigar to discourage kids to start smoking.

They do call it the Punisher...

Mac, Well?
Smoke any yet?

I smoked on last night it must be infused with habeneros or something.
The construction was flawless and the prelight smell was inviting.
I licked the tip of the cigar and felt the burn. After about 15 minutes the pepper faded or my tastebuds went numb. I actually enjoyed this cigar, it was soo different. I wouldn't buy anymore but if somebody handed me one I would smoke it. Might be a good smoke in the snow. If you don't like hot sauce don't try this cigar!

Smoked one...total gimmick stick. Pepper and tingling went away after the first third and never came back. Total BS...but I had fun. I only have 5 left for the original box. (gifted them out)

Shane...might have one for ya at Doms.

Yes, thank you. Or not.

I'm gonna see what this does with some age. Like, 10 years, maybe

I had received one of these from a buddy that got one in a sample pack and without knowing anything previously about this smoke it is safe to say it was a smack to the face. Very intense burning sensation for the first half of the stick. The flavors are very different than any other cigar I had smoked disregarding the pepper spray effect. I would not seek these out again but I did not mind the overall cigar. It was worth trying once. Just my .02

RevSmoke · 08-16-2011, 01:44 PM

Interesting that the places that have these now suddenly have deals on them.

Ogre · 10-31-2011, 05:02 PM

I am getting ready to light this up. Figured I would post as the smoke went along.

Pre-lite

This is the first cigar I have ever had that burnt my lips before even being lit!!!!!!!

Ogre · 10-31-2011, 05:08 PM

ok, five minutes in. Just for comparison I love hot foods, but I have never felt the burning sensation that I am experiencing at this moment!!!!

Ogre · 10-31-2011, 05:19 PM

15 minutes. It tasted like this cigar was dipped in pepper spray. The numbness is going away. Believe it or not, this cigar actually taste pretty good.

deadrise · 10-31-2011, 05:19 PM

lick her up real good

deadrise · 10-31-2011, 05:20 PM

yea I like them after the shock goes away

Ogre · 10-31-2011, 05:34 PM

30 minutes. The PEPPER SPRAY is gone. Now it just a good solid pepper flavor on the draw. Am starting to enjoy this cigar.

thechrisdotcom · 10-31-2011, 05:35 PM

Sounds like something you would give to someone who tries to mug you as you go to your car late at night.

deadrise · 10-31-2011, 05:38 PM

Not a cigar I would try. But it sounds like it'd make a good pairing with a really really cold pilsner beer.

Ogre · 10-31-2011, 06:04 PM

1 hour. 2/3 through, Heavy pepper still present. I would not recommend smoking this cigar on an empty stomach!!!
