In my short time of smoking cigars, I have yet to try one I did not like.

Until now.

Burn was good with decent ash. Wrapper had a nice sweet taste on the lips, but that is where the party ended for me.

The draw was not the best I have tried. I found myself inhaling a couple times from having to put out more effort than I am used to on the draw. Yech!

Flavor was very elusive. I was not sure what other fellows were talking about when they commented on smoking cardboard, but I think that now I have a good idea. No spice, no cream, no sweet other than the wrapper on the lips, just a stale taste in my mouth that would not go away.

Took 4 Altoids and a candy bar to get rid of the stale taste it left in my mouth.

I was unable to bring myself to finish this stick. I made it half way through before I figured that it was not getting any better and that I had suffered enough.

Not sure if I got a bad one or if this smoke will not be for me at all in the future. I will hesitate before I buy another one.
 
Ouch. Thanks for taking one for the team. I smoked one Carbonell years ago and that was enough for me. It sounds like it has not improved at all.
