Old Muriel Cigar

[patio87]

I just found this Murial Cigar on top of a shelf, and it was in a plastic wrapper. I must have opened it a year or two ago and forgot bout it. I was wondering if it is still good or not??

Well, I doubt its changed much. But whether or not its good is another question.

If you do try it, I wouldnt let it turn you off to the world of cigars though. Id recommend grabbing something a little different if you are interested in cigars. There are numerous threads here that give some great suggestions for starter cigars that are easy on the palate and wallet.

Personally, I think that a Padron is a great way to start someone off with cigars. They are reasonable in price, and provide a good easy to take flavor and give some good practice with picking out and enjoying a cigar's flavor...which is what makes cigars so much fun. Another good smoke is a Torano. Both of these are easy to find and will rarely disappoint with construction or flavor issues. Your local tobacconist will be able to help you out.

Muriel = Bad. Pitch it and get something else.

I agree, pitch it! If you smoke it, you might get turned off to cigars all together. Try this if you like, go buy a Padron or a Fuente, smoke it, wait a few hours and then smoke the Muriel, you'll see what I mean.

I agree but dont buy the Fuente curly head. Try something a little better. I have bought several curly heads and even the deluxe curly head and was very unimpressed. The rest of the Fuente brand are top notch!

Mitch that is because the Curlyheads are mixed filler.

They are the scrap tobacco from the long filler cigars.
