a Karmasutra Splash Robusto.
I put it in a glass tube and corked it.
It's still in one of my humidors as we speak.
I was going to burn it just for sh|ts & Giggles but have never gotten around to it.

I bought a tin of Acids, once. Threw 1/2 of them away and kicked myself in the ass for smoking the 5 I did at the Alaska State Fair a few years back. Never again with the infused shyt

I guess if the cigar is good, it wouldn't necessarily be a gimmick or novelty cigar. BUT... If the cigar sucks, and the manufacturer is counting on you purchasing the cigar purely based on its looks or unique qualities (shape, size, name, packaging, etc.), then I would say it's a gimmick cigar.

OH, I forgot to mention the other one I bought that got me just by the name... You've all seen them on the Devil or CI - The FIGHTING COCK. Yeah, I read some of the reviews on T25C, and man - these things were supposed to be REALLY bad. Like a typical man, I figured if this cigar was THAT bad, I HAD to try one. I actually didn't find them to be as bad as the reviews stated, but they're definitely not that great, either. Cool band, though. I can't wait to challenge some buddies to try one!

I almost bought some 'Erin Go Bragh' cigars off cbid, but I figured I'd leave the cigars to the Americas and my just get some Irish whiskey. I do sort of regret this decision as they would be pretty cool for the Notre Dame game I'm attending in Bmore tomorrow, anyone else going to be there?

hey guys, we support all lifestyle choices on this board, but if you're smoking another man's willie, please, spare us the details


ok but seriously, my brother and I were at a B&M once, and the owner was telling us about some new gars he had, they were the Kinky Friedman's. He was like, "I smoked the willie yesterday..." and both of us almost lost it. Then proceeded to lose it once he left the humidor. I'm such a child
