Words of wisdom about many things that have gone wrong

So is bead licking up there with cigar bleaching. Not sure if I need to lick the beads to check for that bitter taste and bleach some sticks to be sure and prevent mold. Would bleaching cause a bitter taste......this is so confusing. Anyone have a warm beer?

Back in 2003, we had a CigarPass member post about his use of low-tox antifreeze ( instead of PG solution ) in his humidor. It was the inspiration for this review :

#59 - A Feverish Review


I have been suffering from a severe cold the last few days - sniffles, running nose and a fever that just won't break. Nevertheless, I promised Lumpy I would review this cigar for him, so I decided no better time than the present, fever be damned!

Construction: 8.50


This cigar measured approximately 5.1875 x 43 , cedar wrapped.

A dark reddish brown wrapper with some moderate veining. Oily wrapper which seemed to give it almost a colored aura. This cigar of course is a classic, highly unlikely to disappoint.



Burn: 7.75


This firm baby lit right up, with a slightly tough draw, showing copious amounts of greenish white smoke. Ash is feathered, with a mottled light grey and lime green ash...

Taste: 8


Spicy. I tasted hints of Dr. Pepper, pine, and chocolate as I smoked it.

man. I can't describe it, but it's more like the subdued aged leather on the inside of a Jaguar as opposed to the strong "new car smell" of a brand new sportscar. I mean the new car smell is exciting, and I'm sure most people love it, but it can be overpowering.

Notes of cedar are evident, with hints of black pepper, propylene glycol and rust inhibitors.



However I noticed this:

I also found out what causes the "spicy" flavor in cigars, it's this neon green tar. When my tongue accidentally touched this tar, it was really spicy. Luckily it wasn't to unpleasant.



Consistency: 7.5


Burned consistent thoughout, although the ash color became worrisome.

Price wise I would guess this was a $8.75 - $9.50 cigar, unless I was shopping at Tobacco World Cigars, then I would guess around $25.00 - $30.00.

Overall Experience: 8.5

An unusual smoking experience, but after smoking this cigar, my fever was gone! :thumbs:

There ain't a damn thing wrong with a room temp beer provided it's a good brew.
