It figures that if you start joking around with a few CSers about your frenetic gay stripper predilections , it catches on, and the next thing you know you're wondering if your subsequent cigar reviews might give people...er... certain impressions about you that might validate their initial impressions.

That said, after careful consideration of the possible repercussions of the cigar review that follows this ramble of a preamble, I still can't get away from describing the Crown David "Exquisito" corrojo-wrapped Dominican torpedo that came to me courtesy of a certain Kansashat as tasting like a marshmallow. (And no, it's not because I sold Girl Scout cookies when I was 10. )

That's right, Marshmallows: Sweet, rubbery marshmallows. The last time I had a cigar that had any overtone, undertone or revelous chorus of marshmallow taste was when I was on a Punch "rare corrojo" kick. This suggests to me that corojo wrappers taste like marshmallows and that any corojo-wrapped cigar I try in the future will probably taste like a marshmallow. ( Some might even taste like s'mores, but I can assure you I will never admit having had this impression. Cat calls are so demeaning.)

But I suppose it should be noted that to experience this marshmallowy goodness, one has to take a strong pull. Take a weak pull and the smoke tends to take on a rather acrid taste with some hints of sickly-sweetness and little in the way of strength -- not exactly what I'm looking for in a smoke. Take a strong pull and you get sweet marshmallows and some spice and lots and lots of medium-full bodied smoke.Thankfully, the draw on this cigar is easy enough that a strong pull won't make you blue in the face.

At $5 a stick, The Crown David Exquisitos represent an excellent value, and with a little age, they just might lose some of their bitterness. They probably won't make you want to don a leopard print g-string and go dancing around the house, but they fill their niche nicely.

Thanks for the review brother.

I kinda thought they tasted like my ex-wife's underwear (not a bad thing ).

Now I know where she'd been putting that thing.

Judging by that photo, it's time I upgraded the pectoral implants.

Didn't know Kansans were so depraved. I'll have to send your wife tickets to my next show. She can sit next to Floydp.
