This thing has a bit of age to it

Time to retire my old faithful CI cutter after snipping this thing

Only issue I can find besides the smell is the first third is pretty squishy

I decide to pour a bit of Tin Cup and line the garbage with a plastic bag before light up

Burn through the first half was pretty good - nice white ash, good smoke output, and easy draw. The taste OMG, it was awful on the retro - potpourri, pefumish chemical, lysolish taste through the nose and covering my palate

Swirling the Tin Cup did not help matters - just made it worse. I'm tasting god awful things that I cannot describe and never want to taste again!

. The burn started to tunnel and finally canoed after the ash fell off. The smell of incense mixed with ... it was like walking into a hair salon and a person was getting a perm done (that smell)

was lingering in the air.

I'm too stubborn to put down this nonsense and take it down to the point where it takes 5 or 6 puffs to pull a good draw of smoke. Enough is enough - my head is spinning, I taste perfume along with other unknown fragrances, the garage smells like a person is spraying Febreze in a morgue with no AC

Call a doctor - I don't feel good. Orbit BubbleMint is not helping and just adding a mint flavor on top of the god awful tastes from that cigar

I would not wish this experience on to anyone!
