Carlos III Review

The story begins.......last time I saw Hbooker, I noticed that W.O.A. sized barber pole looking cigar in his humidor. I asked about it, he said "I don't know, I never smoked one like it" With the sad puppy dogs eyes, and being he just got off with about 50 of my best smokes for payment he gladly handed this great looking cigar to me.

It was one of the best looking "barber pole" looking cigars I have EVER seen. Closed on both head and foot.

This cigar stopped on looks, from there on it freaking sucked! Mr. Booker, I saved your tastebuds, trust me. The first puff put me into bitter beer face. I have smoked some nastyass cigars, but don't remember the last time I was hit like this. I was wishing this great looking cigar would get better, so I smoked it for about in inch and a half before I could no longer take it. I would rate it 5 dogturds.

It was the "Carlos III" line, I think they used to be made in LV.

I had found some good reviews on that cigar, so to say the least, I wasn't let down, I was dropped.

Re: Carlos III

it was a company based in vegas that went out of business. it was a heuvo cafe con leche and it looked like an egg. i had the honor to smoke a few of them and they were just great. consider yourself lucky to smoke a cigar that makes a btl look like a short filler pos.
