Well my lighter crapped out on me today, not sure if it needs cleaning or if it is shot for good. I wanted to smoke the second of the 8-5-8 candelas today, so I paid a visit to the local gas station and bought a new torch lighter.
While I was there, I paused for a moment at the glorious sight that stood before me. In the glass display case on the counter, almost hidden between the Banana Phillies and Green Apple White Owls, sat a package of Garcia y Vegas #100 Crystal Tubos!!!! I could not believe that such a fine cigar found its way to a high profile cigar shop like the local gas station. I had to have one! After all, it came in a glass tube (well, it might be plastic, not sure) therefore it had to be a great smoke!
After I finished the candela, I did some work and then returned to my smoking spot to partake of this fine looking cigar. The cute little tube topped with a cork protected this little gem from any moisture that may want to humidify the shredded tobacco inside this machine wrapped marvel.
I eagerly popped the cork and took a sniff of the little cigar inside. At first it reminded me of pipe tobacco....really nasty pipe tobacco with a touch of artificial sweetner added to it. Sounds yummy doesn't it?
Undaunted by the odor, I lit up and took my first puff.....nothing. Nada, zilch, negatory. No taste at all. How could this be? There was lots of smoke, but no flavor except for this nasty saccarin type sweetness on my lips from the wrapper. Hmm, I wonder if this would last? Sadly, it did not...
After the first third, which went incredibly fast, I started to detect a hint of flavor. After a couple more puffs, the flavor grew quite strong. Now, I have never tasted ass and therefore have no point of reference to draw upon. But I am not sure if calling the taste in my mouth ass would be an insult to this cigar or asses everywhere. As for my final thoughts on the flavor profile of this cigar, I will let this final image speak for me...
After about 10 minutes, which seemed much longer to me, the ordeal was over. From no flavor to complete asswipe, this little stick has taken me to places I wish I had never been. I am not sure if it is because I got a young stick or what. Maybe a couple years of aging in a tackle box or tool chest would improve the flavor. I am not sure, but I am not willing to try it. Maybe another adventerous soul can give a review on a properly aged stick.
At least I have a new lighter and a cool little tube. If I smoked crack it would be great to carrying around my stash. Maybe I will give it to some homeless guy or something.
If there is a hell for cigar smokers, I have the feeling that the shelves are filled with these little gut bombs. Try one sometime. It will make you appreciate even the most foul hand rolled dog rocket.
