My first entry... who knows with any luck maybe one of us could become a reviewer for CA... LOL!

A truly magnificent specimen of a cigar. A beautiful maduro leaf wrapped this fine cigar like a department store package. The texture was that of velvet sandpaper with just a hint of softness you find on extra-firm bananas. The pre-light was an anticipation of pure joy, much like a drive in a new car. A couple of draws and the cigar lit as easily as dried balsa wood. The first taste teasingly offered hints of cedar, dried apples and hot pepper sauce. Billowing smoke like clouds over the Rockies, I found the cigar deeply complex with a multitude of imaginary strengths of various levels. The long finish was short and ended all too soon as it offered a refreshingly variety of mellow flavors including subtle jabs of nutmeg and horseradish. A light, full-bodied masterpiece.

At first glance, the surface seemed rumpled and pleated. Upon closer examination, it resembled the lunar surface... The pre-light aroma smelled of fermented manure with berry undertones. Perhaps as if some ruminant had gotten loose in the fruit patch days earlier. Yes, something was oozing from this dark beauty? but it wasn't plume... Lighting this dog rocket was difficult. I don't just mean a firm draw, I mean it was plugged harder than Monica in the Oval office. After application of my Black and Decker with a 9/16ths bit, I was able to coax the flame to the foot of this grotesque excuse for a cigar. It had all of the ambiance of a forty something prostitute who would have been easy to pass up in her 20s, yet somehow, I found myself strangely attracted to it's hideousness...

As this putrid puro crackled to life, it began running like an Olympic sprinter. I tried desperately to set a backfire, to head off the burn at the proverbial pass, but it jumped my fire line and kept running. This cigar was canoeing like an apache chief down stream and there was no stopping this Pawnee pyromaniac.

As the cigar? continued but did not to develop, I noticed a strong order, as a men’s room with a broken urinal, stained through years of neglect and poor aim. Shortly there after, I detected a better smell, and was soon to learn that the canoeing section had burned like a fuse down to my moustache and I was smelling my own hair burning which had a noticeably better aroma than this hideous hand roll.

And finally, (what’s that? They? They paid for advertising in this months issue?) Oh, never mind! 4.2 stars! Highly Recommended!

Jeeze..........jeeze..........A cigar is light, medium, or full bodied. Crappy descriptions that mention caramel, nutmeg, olive loaf, etc............Goddamn, give me a break! I've never smoked a cigar with 31 flavors of the freeking month club in my life. Where in Hell do these self-effacious bastards get off trying to convince me that I don't know what the Hell I'm doing? Sorry..........I'm going to stop now before I really get on a rant (and I guess I can't talk without cussing, and Cbid won't like it). Jeeze.......I've got a lot more I could say...........

To even consider being a CA reviewer, I'd have to be bribed with boatloads of cash,humidors filled with premium cigars,an all expense paid trip to St.Marteen and the entire works of Steinbeck and Hemmingway. I figure after I've read them I'll be inspired!

(Great one Robby)

From Seegar Afishinado:

I opened the box and yelt to ma wife "Effie! Did you take a bath last week?" Then I realized that stank was comin from the box of seegars that Seegar Afishinado sent me to try.

After giving the thang a good lickin (I don't rightly know why, jus my grandaddy and daddy did it to there cheroots) I bit the end off and fired it up with my zippo.

Holy Sheeeeit! A big 'ol flame came shootin off the end and caught the brim of my favorite straw hat on fire. When I inhaled the first puff I swore the flame shot down my throat and seered my tonsils. My buddy Roy tolt me that I ain't supposed to inhale the thang like a marlboro. I told him "no sheeeit".

I guess Im supposed to write stuff about how this thang tastes but I cant rightly figger out what it tastes like. It ain't like any other tobacco i ever smelt. Something between a barnyard and my wife. It smokes like Billy Bob's 74 Nova. I think that first puff sort of wiped out my tatse buds. My lips and tongue are numb. My buddy Roy says it smells like the inside of his boot. He took it off and gave me a whiff. He's right.

I guess if i were in the habit of licking the inside of a spitoon, I could liken the flavor to that. One time my old coon dog found a dead carp and rolled in it. When he came home and licked my face....it sort of tasted like that.

Since Seegar Afishinado sent me a box of these for free, me and Roy finished off the box and 2 cases of blue ribbon last night.

You know, after the 10th beer these thangs weren't so bad after all. Nobody would come near us and the dogs all hid in the barn and growled at us. My wife said to quit tasting for Seegar Afishinado of she ain't gonna take another bath for a month (don't matter...as long as I got these seegars, she don't smell so bad fter all).

All I can say is these seegars are like an ugly woman. The more you dring the prettier they get. I even sort of like he name...must be some injun chief "Lone Wolf".
I'll rate it a 5 on the first beer and a 90 after a case of beer. Since the only other thang I ever smoke is marlboro and they rate those as 100 right there on the box.

None of the reviews here use the word 'Creamy' enough. Want a laugh? Enter that word in the CBid search and see how many 'gars come up!

LOL @ Rayder ... good one, sir

My favorite REAL review of all time though, is still the one CWilhelmi called to our attention last year in which the reviewer (speaking FAVORABLY) said that the cigar "has hints of olive brine and pencil lead" ...

Pencil lead??? ... sounds like #2 to me

Guys, I know this should probably be on the trades board, but I figured this was the right place at the right time.

For anyone who is interested, I'm willing to trade a ziplock bag full of cedar, nuts, and spices (with a smack of cashews) for any one of the following:

-- some toasty mellow notes (please, no creamy or sour notes)
-- leather, coffee, and vanilla
-- some of that pencil lead. Not that graphite crap that they use today either. I want the pre-embargo lead like they used to have in the old days.

I'll throw in some soggy cardboard with licorice undertones as a bonus. Let me know if your interested.

:-)

ok..i have been asked by the journals of "rednecks are us" for a statement describing their latest segar creation.

When i first grazed my eyes over this hunk of matter that was created through years of soaking in moonshine and fermented sap from only the best pine trees, I noticed a sutle hint of rabbit coming from this creation. Upon futher closer grazing I noticed the aroma of several animals odors. Bubba...master roller here...told me they had allowed several animals to roll in the bacca, as he called it, to loosen it up and make it smell better and give it that one of a kind taste. Seems like "rabbit" bacca was not aroma enough for the pallette of these men. I pic it up and noticed the texture filled like a cross between lone wolf and a swisher sweet. I was give a light for this by the traditional "way of the red neck" a blow torch on hig fro 10 feet away. Took several draws and when I woke up they told me I was cawing and quacking and spitting bacca just like them there folks do every day. Must have been one full bodied smoke. I highly recommend it to you all who think you have tried it all. Available on in the Hills of Tenn. And if you have to ask directions then ya dont need any. that smell will lead the way.

Ok let me give this a try...

Upon the initial inspection, the mocha brown wrapper felt like the soft pelt of the Nigerian Aardvark with a slight give in the firmness like that of a seasponge.

After using a piece of endangered rainforest cedar harvested by a tribe of slash and burn cannibals in Brazil to light the cigar, the first taste on the palate is fine coffee (like Folgers, or even a touch of Sanka) followed by a tidal wave of flavors such as aquarium gravel, fortune cookie, and butter-flavored cooking spray.

The herbacious undertones greatly enhanced the warm cinnamon raison nut bread aroma of this 6 inch long piece of heaven.

Here's mine:

With a refreshing aroma similiar to the Bad Frogs, and full of flavor reminiscient of a Lone Wolf, this new line of cigars is the best since the release on Thomas Hinds' Vintage Line.
