reminds me of the last time I smoked a Garcia y Vega, about 12 years ago...my son, SIL and I were up in the Eastern Sierras, fishing at June Lake. When we stopped into a tackle shop, I saw some "cigars" on display near the register. Having forgotten to pack any, I decided to get a "good" one, a Garcia Y Vega en tubo that was among the priciest among the collection of Phillies, Black and Whites and White Owls.
I fired it up while we were fishing from shore. After the first few draws, I noticed the cigar was getting hot and then to my amazement a red glow appeared on the side of the cigar, about and inch from the top of the head. One more puff and the red glow opened up and began spewing smoke...the carburetor effect prevented me from getting any smoke...maybe a good thing because it was a nasty cigar...chummed it...
