Montecristo Limited Edition C 2003 (NRW) take two!

[Ken Gargett]

unfortunately the box code was on the cardboard sleeve which surrounded the box - i will say that these are perhaps the nicest boxes i have seen for ages - and hence i can only tell you 2003. i am doing this for kenfessions so Steve will have the requisite photos (hate not to comply with any of whipcrack's onerous conditions). 

despite having already completed the task, thanks to whipcrack's perfidious assault on the democratic process by the installation of that most egregious loophole, retrospective legislation, rather than rely on the numerous sets of notes i have taken over the years (and looking back i see how much i tried - and failed - to like these), i have been forced to search through the bowels of my humidor (cue jokes about this cigar just passing through) to find one of those singles that have been rolling around for years. and yes, i found one. this truly appalling cigar - full details to appear in kenfessions - retains its crown as worst collection of vegetal matter since they dug up the primordial swamps. 

i repeat my review below. 

but may i add, if the police in Hong Kong ever decided that they wanted to get serious about clearing the streets of all protesters, then all they would really need to do is fire up a couple of these toxic toads and toss them into the crowds. the streets would clear instantly. 

as i said, "overpriced, overhyped, flavourless. a cigar which aspires to be garden manure. i would not insult my possum by leaving the butt of one for it.

if the monte C were a movie, it would be Roma; a singer, it would be whitney houston; an actor, cate blanchet;  and a rugby player, bernard foley. overrated, overhyped, and of far less importance to the fate of the world than they and their sycophants might have us believe. 

they will not be missed." 

a score? how low can you go? 

so, after this week's competition to force us all to smoke the worst cigars we know, next week it will be who can cut off a body part without anesthetic.

Doofus. 

If you sent the photo to Steve, it will be in your outbox.  It is not like you mailed it. 

Please source and apply to your review.

Is that cigar even lit? How do we actually know you smoked it?

You beat me to it.   Pretty sure every review I have ever seen that includes a photo the cigar is actually lit. ?

I vote that Ken wins this review competition. Or at least gets a booby price.

Or course the prize should be a box or a 6er of Monte C's
