I got a promotional sample pack (the 8 for 10 deal) from Cigars International the other day. I smoked one over the weekend. Well, let me rephrase that, I PARTIALLY smoked one over the weekend. It was a Gurkha Park Avenue. This was the first time I tried this particular stogie, and man, it tasted gross. Maybe its just not that good of a smoke, or maybe it had something to do with the little white spots I discovered in it. Just looking at the wrapper, you cant see them, but in the ash of the cigar, there were all these little, almost perfectly symmetrical, white things. I tossed it after only like the first inch, as it tasted horrible and also because I was a little concerned about the spots. What could these spots be? I have never seen this before. Unfortunately I do not have a picture.
