I smoked "The Turd". Seriously.

I'd rate the cigar a 90+ just based on the fact that it did everything right.
Just because I don't like the flavors it doesn't mean I can't appreciate a technically excellent smoke, ya know?

I'm really just amazed at how well they draw and burn for being hard as a tree branch.

The taste... well, that's a different thing.

When it wouldn't even light, I wondered how it'd ever stay lit.
It absolutely refused to go out.
I knew it'd draw cause I checked it out beforehand, but I honestly never imagined it'd be so bitter. It kinda tasted like a Media Noche, I thought.

I'm not really sure that'd help to appreciate them.
A massive head injury may do the trick, though.

Oh man. Never crossed my mind.
From now on, I'm going to confer with you prior to smoking any turds.

Hmmm... gravy turds, this should get moved to the fine foods thread.
