initial inspection of this stick had me wondering if this smoke had been misplaced in the infuso bag. It smelled like a normal mild cigar. Cold draw cleared up any confusion. first couple puffs weren't bad, just a very mild cigar and then the perfume hit. not something I really tasted in the smoke itself or even in the retrohale. It left a nasty coating in my mouth and on my tongue. it's not pleasant, but I expected worse
getting into the second third things ramped up. the only thing I can come up with, is imagine going into a yankee candle store and licking every single candle. not a flavor profile I enjoy.
the cigar sensed my distain, heard my curses, it felt shame and tried to commit suicide. jumped right off my bench, but kept on burning
coming into the final third it started to get hot and just an intense unnameable bad flavor. just absolutely horrible, from here until the end it was a white knuckle ride just to see how far I could go. I no longer like cigars. I think I'll take up watercolor painting instead.
