You get a bug ring but a nice chisel tip or belicoso tip and it can be very enjoyable similar to smoking a toro.
    Yeah - I've smoked a few 60s - just don't like the esthetics, even if the cigars smoke and taste OK. Especially unpleasant if you use a V-cut, if you know what I mean ...

    Not as bad with a bit of a chisel tip, but still just an ugly cigar in my eyes.

    I feel you. While talking oddities, what about culebra cigars? how do we feel about those? If I had two other friends I would smoke them but sadly I dont.

    It took me forever to try a Culebra. Hell, sometimes a well-known maker's straight cigar has draw issues, how are three tied in a knot going to smoke?

    I've been shocked at how well they smoke and burn and wouldn't hesitate to split one up with @Tombstone

    I've never tried them, but I'd like to. There's a cigar shop that opened recently a couple of miles from my house, called Culebra Cigars. I checked them out for the first time yesterday. Will definitely return, BTW. I teased the owner about not having any culebras in the humidor. He said he's working on a house blend culebra, so I'm looking forward to that. Sounds like he plans on three different wrappers.

    Also, there is a culebra not mentionable in this forum that is surprisingly less outrageously priced than other offerings from the same party gas company. I have seriously thought about giving it a try.

    And of course I'm with SoCalGunner - I'd share a culebra with Tombstone (and TJ) any time
