Montaigut Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Hoyo de Monterrey - Le Hoyo des Dieux LAG MAY '10 Cab Dry boxed for two days First third: as expected from Les Dieux Beginning of the second third: for about 2 cm extremely hard to keep going, very little smoke, taste that can best be described as the vilest of dog ****. Last third: back to Les Dieux ???? Have you ever experienced anything similar? I hate to think what the heck was in the middle of the stick!
laficion Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Sorry to hear that Dan, maybe a tobacco knot or whatever. Happened to me a few times, when it does, in the bin it goes!!!!!! I can't bother with things like that anymore. I want to enjoy the cigar, not pass my time fighting with it.

It's a good thing the same phenomenon doesn't happen with bottles of wine!
Puros Y Vino Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 It's a good thing the same phenomenon doesn't happen with bottles of wine! Not completely. I just had my first experience with a "corked" wine. Such a vile odor At least with wine you know right off the bat.

And it it's good on the first pour you won't get a "surprise" on your journey down to the bottom like I had with Les Dieux!!
Dbone Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 At least it finished on a positive note. I can't say I've had the same experience though, especially on such an HQ cigar. Although we've all learned, Habanos are filled with surprises.... good and occasionally the bad. I hope you don't see another one of those from that box!!
