EDITOR’S NOTE:
As the organizer of the Mega Reviews, I felt pretty bad and somewhat responsible when the negative comments starting coming in for the Kinky’s – but then I remembered who was truly to blame...

Bad Whale! Bad, bad, bad! However, I guess smoking a cigar like the Kinky does have an upside – giving us all a better appreciation for the good cigars we smoke. With maybe a couple exceptions, everyone seemed to hate this cigar. I will be completely honest here though – once the reviews starting coming in, I was already set to give my cigar a bad review before I even lit it up. I wonder if my review would have been different had I smoked mine before anyone else. I’d like to say it would have been the same.

The Kinky’s came nicely packaged in a good looking box, in cellos and none were damaged. The shaggy foot was interesting, maybe a little gimmicky though. I wonder what the reasoning is from Kinky as to why they did this – my guess is for the “look”.

Sorry for the rough stick fellas, thanks for “taking one for the team”!
