El Mejor Emerald - why so different?

I had two of these, About a month ago I smoked one in the garage and it was OK. Today while working on the boat I decided to have the second. When I stareted smoking it was terrible. At one point I looked to see if the filler had fallen out because it felt like nothing was there and it had a chemical taste. I assume that I got a bad stick, but is this common to have such extremes? My other thought was that I have been smoking Vegas A and La gloria Cubana R series, so maybe my taste has just changed.

    I have always liked the El Mejor (the Espresso moreso than the Emerald, but the Emerald is still a solid smoke IMO) line, and it sounds like you just got a bad stick. I had a 5-pack of Camacho Selects once that tasted like vomit. Seriously, I only made it about 4 or 5 draws into the first one and tossed it. The second one I did manage to suffer through an inch before I tossed it. Every Select I have had since those has been a good cigar, so yeah, when you get a bad stick, it can be really, really bad.
