Yessir, they were. Two 7 x 70 logs from hell and an 8-incher as well. And I sure as heck have never heard of Kristoff. $7 for a stick that huge = DOG ROCKET in my book.

BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Gentlemen, she's on the move again! Funny how the first event in the tracking link below is "ACCEPTANCE." As in, "Accept the fact that a box of crap is coming to your doorstep!"

Just fired up the venerable Ron Mexico. The cold draw and first few puffs tasted like sour apples that have been sitting out in the sun for several weeks. This thing needs to improve quickly my friends!

Okay -- 20 minutes into Ron Mexico. This thing is so sour I want to retch. Notes of stale hay, with a strange metallic aftertaste. I'm gunning for 30 minutes, but if any of you guys has a shred of decency you'll stop what you're doing and put a bullet in me long before that.
Damn you!!Full review or gtfo!

holy 80s! @Mr.Draned
That's it...35 minutes, I'm done!! The sourness is just unspeakable. I need to rinse my mouth out with something more palatable. Maybe some motor oil. Verdict: no man should be made to smoke a Ron Mexico. Not even death row inmates.

maybe with the short supply of sodium pentothal they can just make the death row inmates smoke ronmexicos until they expire! Its pretty inhumane though!
It was awful. Just drank 2 cups of coffee and I can still taste it...
I think I missed something here.

Ya know, it would probably make for a pretty effective crime deterrent... possibly even stronger than the public hangings that used to be the norm...
I'm thinking 30 years or so in the humidor might turn those into something. Is there a time limit on smoking these?I sincerely doubt it's worse than what I put in there!
Headed to the post office this afternoon. Sweet mercy, I'm not looking forward to these!
Yeah...petrified crap!
Maybe I’m a glutton for punishment, but I just lit up my 2nd dog rocket of the day. Let’s get this over with already...
This time it’s the Liga IV from Cigars International (never to be confused with that other “Liga,” the highly sought-after Drew Estate Liga Privada). This cigar runs a whopping $40 for a bundle of 50 — in cigar math, that breaks down to 80 cents a stick (5.5 x 43 Corona). I don’t think it gets much cheaper than this for a hand-made cigar…
The construction, as you might expect for a stick in this price range, is sub-par. The wrapper is veiny and bumpy, in a depressing beige hue. The middle of the cigar feels quite squishy. The slogan on the ring is comical: “Our Rarest Tobaccos” (something tells me that’s a good thing for the smoking public). When I apply just the slightest pressure with my cutter, the cap pops off like a champagne cork, giving me a chuckle.
Sweet mercy…the foot smells like toddler vomit! If you think I’m exaggerating, grab one of these when the pass comes your way and take a long, slow whiff. Go on, I’ll wait.
Lighting is uneventful. This stick burns pretty fast, with an uneven, scalloped burn; 40 minutes from start to finish. Ash is actually halfway decent, falling away in 1-inch increments.
And now, the big surprise: flavor! It was rather bland from start to finish, with notes of toasted nuts here and there. After smelling the foot, I was truly expecting the worst. But I was pleasantly surprised by the total lack of offensive taste in this stick. What I’m saying is, it wasn’t horrible like Ron Mexico. This was, in fact, smokable (if you can believe that).
Verdict: this stick isn’t going to wow anyone. But it probably won’t offend your tastebuds, either. If you’re out mowing the lawn or cleaning the garage this summer, it might actually fit the bill for you (and at 80 cents per, it’s a really small bill).
Quite stunned that I actually just wrote that!
