nasty taste....why would this be?

[DogRockets]

So I lit up a tatuaje Miami recently gifted to me and more than once I've had nasty lighter fluid taste pop up in the stick. 3 or 4 times already and I'm about halfway done. I can't believe this is the normal flavor profile of this stick. Any reason or idea why this may be happening?

Ammonia?

Your palate is fried after 22lbs of sticks? lol

Ammonia?

I would have to go with this...

Perhaps it's aftertaste from that pizza you split with @Horseshoe ?

Hey! I resent that. I did not split said pizza, I would never eat a phallus shaped anything!

I say it was due to user error, regardless of what @DogRockets signature states.

Perhaps he ate the elongated portion, leaving you with sausage boobs?

If it is or was ammonia what does that mean? That there was ammonia on the tobacco itself? Or since I got this cigar from @Horseshoe that he rubbed it on there before giving it to me? Once again it is all Horseshoe s fault.

Ammonia is one of the byproducts of tobacco fermentation. This is commonly called the "sick period" for cigars. It's not common on NC sticks but it can happen.

Interesting. Yeah, this cigar was definetly a let down for me to be sure. I've got to imagine this wasn't a normal Tatuaje Miami stick. This was my first Tat Miami and it was my only one so I won't be able to compare. I can't ever recall having that happen with a cigar I smoked before.
