Strongest cigar you've ever smoked?

Sort of. Not as designed, though. After about 15 minutes of suffering through the Tabasco gimmick, I wet the entire head/shoulders and wiped it down with a napkin. Tolerable enough to finish, but won't have another. Once the pepper sauce was gone, it wasn't terribly strong.

I actually had to look these up, as I've heard them mentioned in passing, but never really knew anything about them. From all the reviews I read, it seems these are just pure on pepper flavor. Now I'm a fan of hot sauce and spicy foods, and I do enjoy a strong cigar from time to time, but this, no, just no.

I thought it was a figure of speech when I read the cigar's description. But those SOBs at cu-avana weren't kidding! That thing is literally coated with a substance that makes your lips burn.
