As you remember from the review of Greg smoking The EGG, we all had a good laugh. I sent Greg The EGG Maduro as a joke smoke. To my dismay “what goes around, comes around.”


I get a box in the mail from Greg, a couple fivers I bought from him. The weight of the box was a bit heavy, and I think to myself “How can ten cigars be this heavy.” I open the box and was greeted by the angry face of Medusa. I literally turn into stone when I gaze upon her wretched face. “Noooooooooo!!!! This cannot be!” There was also a note included with the cigars, it reads “AH HA HA HA HA!! I DOUBLE DOG DARE YA!! POST UP A NIIICE REVIEW! C’MON MAN… CHICKEN?” With a drawing of what seemed to be the devil.


I waited until the last minute to smoke this strange looking cigar. And what do you know, it’s Greg’s birthday. So I say “what the hell, I might as well get this over with.”
I open the box and I see the culebra stuffed between a bunch of stinky tobacco leaves. The surrounding tobacco leaves give off a foul smell of a public urinal. My stomach drops, as does my head. Maybe I should have thought twice to send Greg The EGG.


The cigars have a dark toothy wrapper. There are veins running through like spider webs. There is very little oil to be seen on the intertwined cigars.
As a dare, I would have to smoke all three cigars at once. So I light the feet of the cigars with my triple flame from Xikar. The draw had a bit of air flowing between the cigars, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing with this monster. Even with the airy draw there was plenty of smoke coming through.


I detect cocoa notes with fruity undertones. The burn is very even throughout the whole cigar. What surprised me the most was the fact that all three cigars burned at the same rate. The flavor profile doesn’t change much until half way down. I get a bit of dark tobacco with licorice on the tongue. The sheer size of the culebra made it seem like I was smoking a torch.


Towards the back half of the cigar, I detect an aroma that can only be described as fishy. It isn’t over powering but I can still sense it. The burn is even through the whole session, and the flavors do not change much. After the cigars broke into their indivudual stick I stopped smoking. There is no way I am going to smoke three seperated sticks. It isn’t the worst cigar I have ever smoked, but you won’t see me reaching out to pick one up.


Greg, this is for you brother. Happy birthday, hope you had a good laugh. Oh yeah Jamie, YOU ARE NEXT!!!

Not only does this whole thing have me laughing my ass off, but I love the idea of one upmanship and trying to get ol Party Shorts Greg to smoke worse and worse cigars from time to time.

Maybe next is that 2 foot long Puro's Indios

Well done Jimmy. :thumbs:
 
It's cool that they all burned straight and even, even when they were still tied together. I wouldn't have figured that! Great review, and great pics. I can only imagine what the next stinky review is gonna be!

:laugh:
 
Nice review and nice job having the balls to smoke the whole thing at once. I have had one of those for about 4 years, I bought it as a novelty item and a conversation piece, maybe I should get drunk and smoke it one night.
 
Sorry if this has been asked before. I couldn't find anything on a quick search. Can you unwind these things and smoke them one at a time? That would be one wacky smoke.

Edit for: missing word.
 
Hehehe, thanks, what a way to start your first review.

I was thinking of rolling a cigar with the cushion tobacco around the culebra and sending it over to Jamie to smoke.

txraddoc, the culebra was meant to smoke the individual sticks one at a time. But I was dared to smoke all three just for shits and giggles.

Thanks for the info. Yep...still a noob I am.
 
Jimmy way to take one for the team brother. I suppose you can send your surprise stick to me so i can do a review for you and Greg. Nice review by the way.
 
Big cajones, my man, BIG cajones! That was a funny review, I'm still shaking my head at those pictures. As I thumbed down through the pics, it looked like you were holding a pile of smokin' dog shit in your hand :laugh: :laugh:

I can't stop laughing! Thanks for making my day!
 
Boy, did you nail that review! :laugh: Great job.

I bought one as a joke for my buddy's Super Bowl party and when I opened it up, I thought it was 3 long dog turds woven together. It tasted like my bathroom smells during my morning constitutional.
 
:laugh: Thanks for the great laugh!! It looked like you smoked one giant piece of sh*t LOL.
 
Holy Hell you smoked it! :laugh: Atta boy Jimmay! That thing really did look like giant terds all twisted up! You're a good sport my friend! Now...(staring at Jamie)...wonder what's next! :laugh:
 
Attaboy Jimmy! I've gotta say this thread made me laugh! I thought smoking the egg would have been hard, but a whole culebra at once... that's killer!
 
Damn Greg, you are ruthless! :laugh:

I'd have to say that is one of the nastiest looking cigars I have laid eyes on...haha! At least it wasn't TOO bad!
