Well, since we are in intermission, and since I have two PR5s staring at me, let's fix both situations...
I'm going to admit, I'm not going to be sitting back, relaxing, and smoking this rocket in some shady respite. No, my zero turn has been broken for two weeks, and I have mowing to do. Lots of it. Like normally 6 hours, but probably more like 10 now...
So I v cut this bastard, and it all comes flooding back. Cold draw is all it takes, with flavors of a very sloppy, unkempt barnyard. This isnt going to be fun...
Not as bad as I feared. Bland tobacco. The cap is all messed up, unraveled to the binder. I try to fix it as best I can, but still drawing air 3/4" down. Sticking it farther inbetween my lips helps, but it reminds me of something that forces a change of strategy...
...It made me gag, but
@bwhite220 taught me that its ok to gag and keep going, so on I went.
...Id rate this as the second nastiest thing that ever was in my mouth. Im still in counseling for the other.
Gotta adjust the band to help cover, and its passable again. Burn is wavy, but this thing wont die.
In the second third, it went from wavy to racing up one side. Flavor is going more to the char side now. So much so that its leaving a tingle on my tongue.
After canoeing a couple of inches, it burns through and corrects back to normal creosote.
Yeah, final third is just putrid. No redeeming qualities. As I near the end (of the cigar, not me personally), burnt paper adds. Probably the band that I've used like a tip, but I cant take the band off, as this turd would fall to pieces... Let's finish this...
