I purposely let my CA subscription run out over a year ago and haven't picked up an issue since. But my sister bless her heart, sent me in the mail the latest CA magazine, I hope she didn't plop down for a subscription. Anyway, this was the first time I looked at their reviews in over a year, and they added a new description in their cigar review, a number of cigars were said to have flavors of mushrooms. I have never heard that one before, what next, talcom powder?

People have smoked musrooms for a long time. A bunch of ex-hippies must do the reviews.

i get a free copy of ca in the mail every month. i don't know why. i never asked for it and have never been billed, and wouldn't pay for it.

i think the reviewers are patronizing, elitist, dumb f**ks. (sometimes big words don't cover it.)

look for cream of mushroom and tuna salad soon.

Pretty general description of flavor. Mushrooms are very different in taste depending on the variety.

But I did hear the reviewer is a funguy to herf with.

To me the strangest word they evr used describing the taste of a cigar was "marzipan". Now that's surreal.

Actually, if you think about it mushrooms have an extremely earthy aroma when picked fresh. This is the same taste, or at least an accurate discription, I get with most Mexican cigars (TeAmo, Matacan etc). I am not a huge fan of these but I do enjoy them on occasion.

I don't think hippies smoked mushrooms, although some have probably tried.

I prefer a subtle hint of ****ake to the cigars with a heavy woodear flavor.

Agree with Sammydaddy, that the mushroom "flavor" or taste could denote earthy, sometimes used in description of Red Wines such as Merlots! It is all a little phoney to me, since I cannot taste any of the descriptive flavors such as orange peel, mango, hint of chocolate or jojoba! "If it smells good eat it", I always say and if a cigar packs a punch, smoke it!

Once again I bring up the review of the Hemmingway Work of Art: "hints of olive brine and pencil lead." Now that's just rediculous!!

Oh, wrong thread!

I ate *those* mushrooms once back in the '80's...tasted like unsalted sunflower seeds...the voices won't stop...but they're funny as hell!

Oh,I sure would have liked to trip with you E.My sides are aching just thinking about it.

Never tasted mushrooms in cigars though.

Ya, I'm STILL laughing! What's up with the giggles and shrooms?

Just testing to see which of you know the proper way to ingest the magic mushrooms.

I never tried one myself.. but I've seen people put peanut butter on them to mask the taste... where is
this thread going...

See, Slim leaves and now we have chaos !

Slim, please come back. All is forgiven.

Take them straight (hey! Not so many!) and watch Jerry Lewis in "The Bellboy".

Duuuude my computer screen looks like its breathing...

How much "nap time" will cause the the voices of the screaming tobacco leaves in the humidor to stop? They are much louder with the cello off. And they all speak spanish.

Far out Dude, I can see the insides of my eyeballs,...cool.......................................
what if our ears were on our foreheads, then you could hear what you're looking at............................
