start bickering! worst cigar you've had recently?

[moki]

Worst cigar I've had recently was a 1994 Cohiba Siglo IV. It was the worst cigar I've had recently, because despite being stored at 64% or so, and despite it waiting over a decade to be smoked, the draw was so tight that I had to pitch it after sucking wind for an inch or two.

Disappointing, to say the least. I puffed and huffed, I rolled it in my hands to try to loosen it up, if I had a draw poker I would have given that a shot too. Oh well. I ditched it and smoked a Cohiba DC EL instead, which was wonderful.

What's the worst cigar you've had recently?

Smoked part of a Free Cuba Churchill the other nite. It was one I'd found some time ago behind my plastidors. I thought I'd gotten rid of all my old dog rockets. I was feeling froggy & lit it up........wished I hadn't.

A Punch Magnum...I am not sure what went wrong but I just disliked this smoke. Metal was all I tasted and after a 1/2" I decided I'd rather stick my tounge on a frozen pole then to keep smoking this cigar.

ill remeber that Cohiba, it was bad enough to start this thread over

La Flor Double Legiro (sp?) it wasnt so much a bad taste, it was just wayyy to strong for the mild flavor it offered. i dont like getting sick for a stogie other then a OpusX

Romeo y Julieta Vintage III - This one was absolutely horrible. Burned my mouth and throat from the beginning. Horrible draw. Foul taste. Gave up on it after 10 minutes of frustration.

Funny you should ask. After scarfing down a dozen or so Punch Gran Puros (all very nice) I had to wonder why they got so many rotten reviews. Then - the last one was like smoking a sweatsock/tanktop combination from off the floor at the YMCA locker room. Blah. It was terrible. Go figure.

Partagas 898 (unvarnished) from '01. It tasted hollow, pretty much flavorless, very disappointing.

PINAR 2000. Cuban my ass!!!!! Tasted like it was aged in a County Fair Porta-Potty!

[Funnymantrip]

Last night on my way home. Fonseca Serie F. Just horrible. Nothing about it was good, from burn to the taste.

A diamond crown from 01. Mild and unpleasant "grassiness" about it.

[rumballs]

Davidoff Aniversario No. 3. Very mild flavor overall (nothing very interesting), and yet somehow at the same time, it had a really bad bitter flavor. Gave up after 1/3...

Last night I was having a drink with a friend and he breaks out 2 unbanded sticks that the says he got at a local B&M. He said the guy in the shop said they were good and he wanted to pay me back for a stick I gifted him last week. I had no idea what these things were and I knew I shouldn't, but I took the grateful approach and we lit the cigars. Mine lasted about 2 minutes before I just couldn't take it anymore, absolutely horrible. The best way to describe it would be to give it the name .....
"La Aroma de German Shepard"

It pains me to say it but a CAO double Maduro. I love CAO but this thing was awful. After five or 6 puffs I had to toss it and cleanse my palate with single malt.

MC Afrique Jambo, I smoked it two days ago and it was bitter.

[mosesbotbol]

Cohiba Sublime, it had a poor draw, lacked complexity and needs several years before it could be something. It's a tragedy to throw away a half smoked cigar of such stature.

A RJ Chruchill that tasted like veg. oil. My friend looked at the box and it was like June 05…

I had a Mag 46 a few weeks ago that was equally lackluster. Somehow I always get the tight ones, but I wish they weren't cigars ;-)
