ACID Nasty

[Corona Gigante]

The other weekend I saw an episode of the original Twilight Zone called The Printer's Devil. It starred Burgess Meredith in the title role. As part of his character, he wore a plaid hat and smoked "twisty little cigars". "Ah ha!" I thought, "A culebra!" I'd not seen one before.

I've wanted to try a culebra ever since I first saw a picture of one years ago, long before I thought about smoking cigars. I realize that a real culebra is made with low-grade leaves for the torcedors to smoke while they're on the job. Nevertheless I was intrigued. After hunting around a bit, I found the Drew Estates Medusa on cigarbid. I got around to smoking one tonight. My first Drew Estates. On the whole, the experience was quite pleasant for a change but it isn't like smoking a real cigar.

Ah yes I saw the same episode you did, having taped the entire run of Twilight Zone off of Sci Fi channel during their year end marathon last year. He chewed the hell out of that cigar, I kept thinking awww gross, you're drooling all over that damn thing!!!
