Terminally Ill Cigar

Damn, where did he get the thing? I've seen humidors that smelled like straight up mildew, usually ones at gas stations or grocery stores, maybe it was badly stored?

If it tasted like it had "cleaner" in it, then it COULD be too young. I've had a couple that were straight up Windex, but after a few months in storage, they were just fine.

He got it from Neptune, supposedly a highly rated cigar which is what prompted him to purchase the sampler that had these in it. He said it was downright nasty, like smoking a piss soaked cigar.

It's too sick to recover. We all agreed after examination that the tobacco is basically uncured and is probably molding inside. The ammonia smell will knock you down.
