Well, you know I *had* to take that culebra! Here are some pics I took. Gotta love that crooked ol' thing.
It started off quite harsh and strong, tasting like very young tobacco. I had burn problems (canoeing) too. But by the last 1/2 of this cigar, the burn problems went away and the flavor mellowed, and in turned into a decent Havana afterall!
Thanks, Ben, for including this gem in the package!
Now, on to the pics!

The colors aren't right, 'cause I tweaked 'em so you could see the crooks and crags of the wrapper...

Here I am lighting. Sorry for the fuzziness - the camera was in close-focus mode. (All pics but the last one are hosed like this...)
:-(

Just lit...

Looks like a Backwoods or something, huh? That's Monday Night Football (on Sat. night!) in the background! (Go Bucs!!!)

Here's a pic of one of the "Butt-Ugly" JR ashtrays. The color isn't right in this pic, due to camera problems, but checkout the next photo, where the color *is* right. (Where'd they ever get the idea for a sh*t-brown ashtray??!?)
Cigar looks pretty strange sittin' there!

Like all good things, this, too had to come to an end. I think I nubbed it pretty good!
Thanks to Ben for putting this all together! It was fun - and it's just beginning! Can't wait to hear about all the White Elephants out there.
