what's the WORST cigar you've smoked? - Page 10

10-11-2010, 03:14 PM

The strangest thing happened the other day, the worst cigar I've had changed from the CAO America to an Oliva Serie V belicoso o_o it was so bad, i couldn't finish it, and the flavors were indescribably bad, but i have had the robustos frequently in the past and loved them, i wonder if it was the way it was stored in the b&m's humidor, but i was sick after 3" of that cigar

An Acid Blondie hands down!!!

La Vieja Habana Maduro. Literally tasted like a dog turd...wrapped in maduro.

Various Guantanemera sticks. Ew.

I'd like to get this out there again, just to save you guys the pain...
Padilla Miami original blend.
Padilla Achilles could be a close runner up, but although it made me gag, it was technically really well done. If you dig fresh green paint, you'd love it.

Puros Indios green label. Not even sure what its called, but it was absolutely awful

Cuba Libre is pretty bad.

Camacho Triple Maduro, Casa Magna, Nub. Back in July I smoked my first and last of these brands. Too many good cigars out there to waste time and money on terrible cigars.

Jes, pleeeease do me a favor: Take a Casa Magna Colorado Robusto and let it sit in a humi for a month and re-visit it. I say this because I was in Birmingham visiting one of the shops and the manager sat in the back with me and gave me the new #1 cigar of the year- this same one in question. We sat there and smoked and smoked as he raved about how much he loved it and I simply looked at him and told him I hated it. I was serious.

Now? I think it's a phenomenal cigar! You may still hate it, but I've noticed over time that I can never fall in love or hate a cigar after the first one....I need a cross-section of the same cigar over time and in a consistent environment to give a good judgement.

If you need another one to try, let me know and I'll be happy to offer one of mine!

It's a chase down between an Acid Blondie and the Bahia Bleu rot gut that my brother-in-law traumatized me with this spring.

And I agree that Casa Magnas are great sticks. I've not had a bad one yet.

Ok, I'll pick up a Casa Magna soon and let it sit for a while. I'll try to remember to post on this thread when I smoke it. I probably shouldn't have been so quick to judge these. I have a few cigars that I really enjoy and when I have recommended them to friends they haven't enjoyed them as much as I do. Everybody's got their own taste preferences. But I will give the CM another shot.

Devanmc · 11-16-2010, 07:04 PM

gurhka grand reserve
makers mark red wax glass tube thing.

Pirates Gold from CI. I keep trying what I have occasionally as a yard gar, but it doesn't get any better. Gives me a headache. I keep looking for someone who'll smoke anything to give them to.

aich75013 · 11-17-2010, 09:31 AM

El Mejor Emerald.
Part of one of my first purchases from CI.

BloodSpite · 11-17-2010, 09:58 AM

Thompson Uniques.

I had ordered a box of Alec Bradley Harvest and they sent me a pack of the Thompson Uniques for free. Forget what exactly the deal was.

However without a doubt the worst things I ever had the misfortune to light.

Alcazar #5. My friend and I went golfing on my birthday and he gave it to me to smoke (without the caution sticker that is the band). It is important to note that my friend is an ass.

11-17-2010, 09:17 PM

Worst was a Puros Indios figurado. Tasted like hay and salt. Seriously. Just awful.
