Disappointing Anejo Shark

[bmony]

It was a gorgeus day here in Central WI so I decided to drive to Lake Country cigars. I lit up my Anejo and it was going great until the final third. I had a sharp bitter taste in my mouth so I look at the of the cigar and their was some tar oozing out the end.

I finished the cigar but was careful to not touch the end of the cigar. I never experienced this before and it won't stop me from smoking more.

I did smoke one of the Illusione MJ12 Maduro on the way home and it was just perfect. Great cigar and I love the taste.

Hate when that happens. If I get tar build up like that i usually clip a bit more off the cigar which usually helps.

Bummer. That is one of my favorite cigars, so I can imagine how irritating it would be to light one up and have it be off. One of the perils of a handmade product, I guess...

I will clip the end as well but unfortunately I was driving. I've smoked my fair share of Anejo's and never had it happen before.

I also picked up an Alec Bradley Fine & Rare. Looking forward to lighting up this stick.

I don't have any scientific evendince but my theory is not enough cap cut off of figurados/torpedoes. Only time it's ever happend to me is belicosas. Sorry to hear.

I was just going to say the same thing Justin.

The 77 & 55's are my faves in the line, but... While I haven't had the tar issue, I've had the same flavor issue with some of the new batches. I've put them down & been rotating in the younger & smoking some older ones I've had for a little while.

+1 for not enough cap removed. I almost always end up snipping a little more off on belicosas half way through. I lit up an awesome 3 yr old shark last night to celebrate my Lions first playoff appearance of this millennium but sadly, like my shark, it was over right after halftime.

bummer. tar on the lips is quite yucky!! it's only happend a few times,,, and i'll cut a bit more off the end, followed by a purge w/a torch.

I've never experienced tar, but I tend to cut my cigars more than I should sometimes.

And smoke less than you should!!:robinhood

When it's time, it's time!

Like, when the cupcakes arrive and you JUST started a DAGA? :grinFU:

 

[MU Mike]

Precisely my good man!

I am having my own Fuente mishap today I decided to smoke a 2006 God of Fire Double Robusto today. I keep my smokes in perfect storage conditions and rarely ever have construction issues especially with high end cigars. I am pissed at this thing as it has exploded on me. Pisses me off. *sigh*

 

[MU Mike]

Is it cold outside?

 

[Lorax429]

Nah. Very mild day in NC. Probably a fluke but no less frustrating for it. Especially on a pricey stick like this.

It's weird this is one of my all time favorite nons and I smoke a lot of them and never had this happen, But a good friend comes over last summer and I swear 2 out of 3 of his own 77's this exact same thing happened to over a couple week period. I can't figure it out. I had him try one of mine a it was fine. go figure.

Thanks for the idea and I will keep that in mind when smoking my next figurado. Overall I was happy as it didn't happen until the final third. I never even paid attention to tar until a post about tar a few months ago.
