I got this bad boy back in the pass I did a few months ago, and have been waiting for just the right time to fire it up! I have never had a Mysterio and I was curious how it would smoke through the wrapper flaws. 
I decided last night would be the night to fire it up.
The smoke
As you can see this thing has been through a rough time! The wrapper is completely busted and the filler tobacco is bursting through. I clipped just the pigtail tip off the cigar and the draw was extremely lose, as you can imagine!
I fired up the maduro tip, and noticed some very sweet earthly flavors. I was huffing very hard, and had to put my fingers over the cracks in the wrapper to draw in the smoke. BUT... it was smoking pretty well. I was getting some decent smoke and flavors, and the burn was pretty even to my surprise! At this point I had been smoking pretty hard for 30 min. or so.
At this time I started to notice some slight burn problems! :sign: The flavor was becoming less intriguing and more repulsive at this point. The sweet earthly flavors had faded into a raw earthy tobacco flavor that was not enjoyable. PLUS...the burn was a tad off at this point. :laugh: However, I forged through the burn problems to continue smoking! :thumbs:
I got a little bit farther, but the draw was horrible at this point and I was getting minimal smoke. The flavor had also left, and it was not enjoyable any longer. This was over an hour into the cigar, and I have been smoking quickly!
I go ahead and leave the smoke here. I have to say it was a unique experience for me. I was not sure if I could even get any kind of draw out of it, or if it would just explode when I lit it! :sign: The first two inches or so were actually quite enjoyable, and my wife got a good kick out of me trying to stop up all the holes to get a decent draw out of it! She said it looked like I was playing a clarinet or something!! :laugh: Hope you all enjoy. Take care guys
