"they have produced one ball tearer of a cigar. " Clearly an Aussie phrase meaning it's more than satisfactory but I really don't see how this is a good thing anatomically speaking... made my eyes water. I'd be interested in the etymology of this phrase if anyone knows. Possibly cricket? As in tearing the leather off a ball with an exceptional strike of the bat. Sent by spooky action at a distance
