The most outrageous cigars...

Here's a thread I've wanted to start for awhile: "What in hell were they thinking?" cigars. I can think of about a dozen off the top of my head, but I'll start with two of the most well known.

The outrageous smokes ever rolled:

#1 (of course) Inmenso by Perdomo

http://www.perdomocigars.com/inmenso.html

Bring on the clown shoes! A seven-inch, 70 ring gauge monstrocity that doubles as personal defense. (You would not want to be clubbed over the head with this cigar.) This one also allows the smoker to exercise while smoking, as the thing weighs about the same as a Louisville Slugger. Set aside four to five hours if you plan to actually smoke one of these giants. There are bigger cigars out there (Hell, the Galaxia has nearly triple the tobacco), but Inmenso started it all.

Besides having the goofiest box and goofiest band, Inmenso is the cigar that lends itself to more jokes than any other.

Examples:

Is that an Inmenso in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?
But honey, you said I could only smoke ONE cigar!

#2 The Big Bamboo by Graycliff

Another "Bigger is better" cigar, this one is LOOOOONNNNNNGGGGG -- 18 inches long in fact. But not only is it long and fat (60 ring gauge), this one comes with an unfinished "shaggy" foot -- so it's near impossible to store without making a mess. At about $40 per stick, this mammoth puts the hurt on your wallet and your wrist. Smoke these too much and you're pretty-much guaranteed to get carpal tunnel syndrome.

But the Big Bamboo has plenty of other uses besides smoking -- you can cut the shag off, poke holes in it and voila! Clarinet! Also doubles as a pool cue, polo mallet, and marching band baton.

I'll have to snap a picture of the one my buddy got me for Christmas a few years ago.... it's quite amusing but I would never ever bother to light it up... probably complete crap.

I saw a smoke called The Egg at a local shop. I'm almost positive it was by Drew Estates. Looked just like it sounds. I'll try to stop by and get a photo during my lunch.

Moving right along (unless people tell me they hate this thread, I'll add one or two new weird smokes each week)....

#3 Natural Egg by Drew Estate

http://www.cigarsinternational.com/i...tate+Egg&pic=0

This is a weird cigar from a weird cigar company. I know Drew has a HUGE following. But I think it's unusual for Drew Estate to make it's mark making cigars that taste like a "Bed Bath and Bodyworks" store (The entire ACID line.)

The "Natural" series at least TASTES like a normal cigar, but this iteration sure doesn't look like one. In fact, it looks like a double-ended bowling pin, or a marital aid, or a VERY pregnant churchill.

Another conversation-piece cigar, everyone I know who has smoked one has complained about draw problems.

Makes you wonder what they were smoking when they handed their Torcedors this design.
