So let me start off by saying thanks to everyone who tried this with me. Willing or not, they were forced to see if the hype was really there or not.

Now.... Cremosa, that's a name I've grown to fear, not by trial, but by reputation. I had never experienced one of these cigars though people claim their testicles suck up, bungholes slam shut, warn to flush in other people's toilets you don't like because of the fear that this cigar may come to haunt you.

I don't know about you but that sounds like something I just gotta try once.

So I ended up buying a bundle, split a few times and kept some for myself. We have a monthly herf up in Rochester Michigan and I brought these, unknown to the rest of the crew. As soon as I get there I get to work clipping and lighting.

Yes, this is my ugly mug, severely in need of a trimming and my hair is well... winter hat hair, ok...?

Image


Now I'm not alone in my endeavor because Chris *sancho* is right behind me....

Image

And you wonder what he's thinking right? I believe he's thinking... This is one tasty cigar!

Image


Actually his thoughts were, "I've had worse"..... though as he got about 1/2 way through... he goes "Wow this just keeps getting worse as I go!"

Because I'm a man, I just light and start the pass.... First up is Mike *357*

He took some convincing, lots of laughing... About 4 Gin and Tonics later he investigates.

Image

Hmmmmm Dry leaves with....Barnyard...no wait, hints of manure!

Image

Actually guys, this is a great cigar! You gotta try it.... *I'm speaking for Mike here...*

Image

JUST KIDDING!!! "TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME!!!!"

Image

Next up is Steve *Fissure* He cried about this more than Mike, though he did man up and give a hit.

Image

Though....I don't think that was good for him... Steve you don't look so good buddy!

Image


I know this is hard to believe, but Steve actually went blind. He found it easier to keep his eyes closed at this point..... NEXT!!!

By now Jon *jonharky* realizes he can't escape and so defeated he goes up to bat.

Image


MMMMM!!!! Doesn't that look tasty? Hints of....Metal, burt grass, and dirt....YUM!

I blame this cigar on him leaving early...not that other excuse he gave.

Image

Next up is Sam *Buena Fortuna* he is the MAN... just look at him.

Image

He's telling us it can't be that bad and he's looking forward to this laughing the whole time.

As you can see he's taking in the construction and aroma of nuclear fallout coming off of this wonderful cigar.

Image

Puff the magic dragon would be jealous...... Look at that great construction.... *Chris kept mentioning that his ash was hanging on forever*

Image


Oh yea, feel that burn of the nose exhale! Taste those wonderful flavors of rusting metal paired beautifully with dirty snow water sitting stagnant on a playground of 3rd graders.

Image

Unable to believe what he just experienced he gazes in awe at this cigar. "How could this be?" We have no idea what he's talking about.

Image

"I'm gonna give this another go, that can't be possible" --- Still NO Idea what Sam is going on about.

Image


OH!!! There it is! His colon just slammed shut!

So you're probably wondering, DAN! Why didn't you smoke it?

Well you need to wonder no longer, for I did!

Image


Ok...Interesting... it is bad... yes not a good cigar at all. Draw was good, construction was good. Flavor, I could describe as the leaves from my oak tree in December. The bastages that are still stuck up on the tree even though there's over two feet of snow on the ground. Pair that with a dry dirt, burning, and a metal flavor, it's hard to describe but yea. Something like that.

Does the purge work?

Hell no....

Image

It's still pretty bad....

At this point I've downed about 3 cherry cokes and have to use the little boys room. I come back and the guys are laughing about this chery cigar... I figure what the hell do I have to lose at this point.

Image

Actually, was very smooth. Decent construction for this type of cigar, barely had a hint of maraschino cherries, paired well with my cherry coke.

Apparently though the smell coming off this puppy was and I quote "One of the worste things I've smelled in my life" I believe Sam or Chris is the owner of that quote.

Image

After throwing back that Cremosa and Jubilee Cherry, I was pretty much off my rocker.

Image



Well that concludes this little story, I hope I didn't bore you with too many details.

Here are three of the brave souls purging their taste buds with finer cigars.

Image



I hope you all will learn from this, and take matters in your own hands one day to try the things that interest you, good or bad.

Thanks for the laughs, Dan, and I hope your crew gets you back for asking them to try them vile $hit-sticks. :-)
[Reply]

Very nice guys, thanks for sharing :-)
[Reply]

Great post! :-)

I'm picturing guys in HAZMAT suits dealing with that smoking lounge like a meth lab.
I hope you didn't do permanent damage there! :-)
[Reply]

Nice, I will send you guys some gorillafingers for your next experiment.
[Reply]

Looking forward to mine, wonder if they really would throw me out the window of I brought a few of those....HMMMMM I better start working out :-)


The lounge is still standing, though the fallout cleanup is still going on.
[Reply]

Too bad that Booker wasn't there. He could answer the question, what is worse, the cremosa or getting stuck in the mud. Thanks for taking the hit for the team and for the laughs.:-)
[Reply]

Ha ha ha. Thanks for the review. Boy am I glad that I got 5 off of you :-) I think that I will smoke one and bomb the rest to deserving inmates :-)
[Reply]

Thanks Dan, what a great time! However, I think I am permanently ruined from that Jubilee Cherry fecal sample that you sparked up...:-)
[Reply]

You guys just make me laugh! The looks on your faces in some of those photos are just PRICELESS!!!!:-):-):-)

Thanks for putting some faces with the names.
[Reply]

What I wanna know is: When is Dan gonna start smoking some of the dog rockets that Silound sent us? I'm gonna tackle another one today.



Come on Dan. You're gonna be 2 behind me. :-)
[Reply]

Just got them last night brother. Gonna let them thaw out before I spark them up.
[Reply]

Nice post! That certainly was a good time although the cigars could've been better :-)

That cherry jubilee....words cant describe that smell, choking/gagging? Like drowning in a vat of cherries? I had to throw my hat out because it wassitting to close to where dan was smoking and the smeel wont come out
[Reply]

Nice review and pictures.
Although, Da Klugs original (and classic) review on these gems was one for the ages.

If we are lucky, he can dig it up for us.
[Reply]

That should be the label on the bundle. :-)
[Reply]

Great Review Dan!!! Wonderful photos and commentary... priceless!!!:-)
