The review for this cigar is so unusual that I'm reposting it here:
The first half of this long, slow smoke was an amazing 4.5! My mouth was tingling with joy (seriously!) and the juices were delicious! Then about halfway, I managed to soak the head with saliva to the point that out poured Pepin's secret ingredient: SALT!! He flavored the head with salt!! The saltiness became first annoying and eventually unbearable. I dried the head with a napkin. It helped very little. The progress started to drag, the cigar started seeming like an endless drain on my resources and I put it down for good. I would suggest you stick to robustos and toros. Don't get the head soaked.
