I hope my future mesothelioma bills will be worth the satisfied curiosity of you sadistic bastards.
Tonight’s cigar review is of this mummified oddity found in my cooler. The back story can be found in another thread so we’ll skip straight to the review.
As you can see from the EL band, this beauty is from 2009, which puts it squarely in the 11th Dynasty of the Middle Kingdom. Lending credence to the popular belief that this came from the tomb of Mentuhotep III, or at least one of his wives. The prelight shows the care taken by Egyptian artisans to preserve this for posterity.
Once lit, the cigar is immediately rewarding me with notes of domestic Naugahyde, wrapped in rat fur and then set ablaze. With hints if acetone coming into play now and again. Unfortunately those same flavors dominated throughout the cigar so I deducted some points for being somewhat one dimensional. Further points were deducted for constant relights required, although this may be due to humidity conditions in the tomb. Overall I would give it a 4 out of 10 stars purely for the unique experience of smoking an artifact and the almost immediate hallucinations it caused of an incensed Anubis tormenting my soul with a thousand angry scarabs.
If anyone is still making those cool glass tables with cigar bands and wants these two relics to add to the table’s mystique, hit me up.
