What makes this special? Nothing besides the "Its a girl" printed on the cellophane

quick stats: 5x42, humi kept for about 2 months

I wasn't expecting much from this smoke, just a novelty to commemorate the birth of my daughter. However, I was a mildly surprised by this one. I toasted the foot and got a very acrid taste right off the bat. This lasted for about a half inch, and cleared out.

I only smoked this one about 2/3 of the way through (the grillin was done, time go eat!) but this one held a light creamy flavor with mild woody undertones throughout. The ash held consistently for about 1/2 inch and fell off. Smoke was thin and dark grey, and the burn was even and consistent.

Overall, this was an extremely mild smoke. Would I buy it again? Maybe if I have another daughter, and only if there are no other "its a girl" cigars of a better quality. Not bad, but not again if there are other options.
