I recently bought a bunch of cheapies hoping to get a good smoke at a bargain price. The manufacturer claimed they were similar to the Arturo Hemingway Series, shape size and taste. They even boasted of using similar aged tobaccos throughout the sticks.
Upon lighting the first one I wanted to gag, the taste was overwhelmingly of ammonia. My stupid question of the day is:
Is the ammonia taste attributed to inmature tobacco? Should I keep them in my humidor a while and let them age or chalk this up to a learning experience, you get what you pay for.
Thanks guys!!!!!!!!!!!
