Terminally Ill Cigar
A brother brought this stick to the book club tonite. He smoked one and said he had to put it down. He said it tasted downright nasty, like it had cleaner or something in it. It smells literally like wet grass that molded under a lawnmower deck (anyone who has cleaned a lawnmower deck would know exactly what smell I'm describing). Everyone examined it and smelled it. Just like wet, moldy grass. After some discussion, we all agreed there's no way this cigar will ever be anything but a dissectable specimen to see what the hell is up. Nastiest cigar I've ever smelled. Pic attached.

Re: Terminally Ill Cigar
Damn, where did he get the thing? I've seen humidors that smelled like straight up mildew, usually ones at gas stations or grocery stores, maybe it was badly stored?

Re: Terminally Ill Cigar
If it tasted like it had "cleaner" in it, then it COULD be too young. I've had a couple that were straight up Windex, but after a few months in storage, they were just fine.

Re: Terminally Ill Cigar
I have several bundles of these and several other Cuba Aliados versions. I really like them and haven't experienced anything like this. Really hate to hear you had a bad experience.

Re: Terminally Ill Cigar
Maybe a bundle of improperly cured tobacco was mistakenly used. Maybe it was improper storage? Who knows?

Re: Terminally Ill Cigar
I'm waiting on the smell to dissipate. I'm afraid it'll kill my parrot.

Re: Terminally Ill Cigar
It could be used like a bird in a coal mine. If the bird dies GET OUT!!!

Re: Terminally Ill Cigar
Not going to kill a $1200 bird to check out a $5 cigar.
