Sorry it didn't work out for you, MAS_Puros. I tried this last spring with a variety of cigars and George Dickel Tennessee Whiskey. I noticed that the results varied from cigar to cigar, but I wasn't able to identify a pattern. Wrapper type, size, strength, etc. didn't seem to be crucial factors. (I had two fairly small, very strong cigars, for example and one tasted great and the other awful.)
Based on what you wrote, though, it sounds like maybe they were overhumidified? Did you have a hygrometer working in your test humidor?
