For bander & sunbuilder, a review I posted on another forum a few months ago:

--

The review you have all been waiting for (NOT).

The highly coveted White Owl Pineapple Tubos...

As I take this cigar out of it's exceptionally stylish yellow and black tubo, I can't help but immediately notice three things:

1) how flawless the wrapper is and how I would expect nothing less from tobacco-infused brown masking tape.

2) the prelight aroma - this cigar smells like one of the air "tropical scent" freshners you hang from the rearview mirror of your car.

3) that I'm only on my 2nd martini, I hope that will be enough to make it though this cigar.

I've admired this cigar long enough, so now it's time to fire it up. No need to clip, it's already pre punched for your convenience, so after verifying that I have both the local poison control center number and 911 on speed dial, I apply fire to the foot.

The cigar lights up easily and I am soon greeted with volumes of putrid smoke.

I must say, the flavor sucks, the finish tastes like I'm chewing on an Advil tablet, the burning aroma is wretched but damn, for short filler, this cigar burns straight and sure can hold an ash!

I'm now about 2" or 2-1/2" into this cigar and with my face burning from the chemicals in the smoke and my taste buds screaming for the pain to stop I'm starting to wonder if this is what it would feel like to have Muhammad Ali open up a can of whup-ass on my face. I drink some more of my martini to ease the pain...

I'm trying for another few puffs here, but after about another 1/2" or so, this beating is just more than I can endure and my corner throws in the towel.

It took me about a 1/4 of a bottle of Listerine to get the flavor of that cigar out of my mouth.

Do I think this is a good cigar? Oh hell no.

Would I buy this cigar? Oh, hell yes, just so long as I don't have to smoke it and I'm only buying it to bomb someone with.

ROFLMAO!!

Nice job TG. LMFAO!!

What other forum?

Shhhh.... These boards have monitors.

I am a thinking you should have thrown the Cigar away and smoked the protective tube

LMAO
Rider

TG...

I did see this one out on the forum...LMAO. I really enjoyed the Gurkha review...the "double-cut" and smoke it from the middle, was freakin' funny!

With that your training is complete my young Padewan.

These things are all the rage, I find these all the time in gutters and in dirty parking lots. It makes me feel like im missing out on life.

^ These and Swisher sweets

Sounds to me like you just didn't let it age enough.

mmmmmmmmm......White Owl

^ Cheap date. LOL!!!

the most through review i have ever read...and possibly the most disapointing...what am i going to do with the box that i have coming...i was so looking forward to it...

^ send them to Ram. he needs some cigars.

TG: What was the date/factory code on the box? I understand that anything newer than October 2008 needs a couple of weeks age on them.

Kudo's to TG for taking one for the team.

Ooh! Ooh! Do the maduro version next!

BTW, the Advil people called and asked if I was your attorney. Did you get sued? Why did you give them my name and number?

Besides...I smoked an entire one of these, ya pansy. And I don't even HAVE any Listerine around.

It about time someone reviewed one of these cigars and gave them the respect they deserve...

LOL!

Shoulda gone for the grape...
