Cigar or a buffet line???

A few days ago, I had a Mi Querida Puma Negra and REALLY enjoyed it. Our mayor sent me a review that was in Halfwheel and was written by Charlie Minato. THIS is why I don't put much stock in cigar reviews. The following is a list of the aromas and flavors detected by the reviewer. What a joke.

Aroma: old-school steakhouse

Flavors: cinnamon, chocolate syrup.soapy hops, apples, pizza dough, leather, earthiness, damp earth, pistachio, apple pie, McDonald's Polynesian sauce, Thai basil, minerals, lemon, sawdust, cream, salty sunflower seeds, watered-down lemonade, candy corn, and peanuts.

Is it just me or does this sound ludicrous?

    I love that cigar, @Mad Dan!

    BTW, if you reply to someone or want to note or thank someone, the site will notify them if (1) you’re following them here, & (2) you tag them in your text.

    To tag someone, put a “@“ in front of their member account nickname (aka their handle) in your text. You’ll see a drop down box appear of members’ avatar names that you are following, and you just click on the name you want.

    The McDonald's Polynesian sauce cracks me up. That's weirdly specific and NOT something I'd want to taste in a cigar.

    I agree Dan, I know there are people that can detect smells the average person can not, but this ridiculous. Liked your assessment.

    It reminds me of an extreme CA review. lol. Since I have the palate of a goat, I find these descriptions amusing.

      Amusing ... that's a good word to use.
