The worst that I smoked lately was a Chateau Fuente, not sure what it was with this stick but it tasted and smelled like burning brush, reminicent of burning tree leaves.

I am guessing it was just a bum stick, I have a second, hopefully it was not a bum box!

NEVER judge a cigar based soley on he fact that a BOTL or SOTL had a bad smoke out of that stick. After you have smoked good cigars for a while, you realize that it can take 2, 3, even 5 of a specific cigar to determine if that cigar is not a good cigar.

even though the Henry Clay's got a bad rap earlier in this thread, the ones I have tried I really liked. I am not a fan of NC Punch cigars AT ALL, but a lot of BOTL's around here like them. Personally, I couldn't stand the Punch Champion that I smoked this weeked.

Don't really care for the JR Alternatives "Cuban Cohiba Robusto" bundle I purchased awhile back. They taste bland like cardboard. But I wouldn't go as far as calling them sickening...I can tolerate them.

Garcia Vega "Crystal" Drug Store cigar in a glass tube was pretty nasty...

I had a smaller Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 this weekend that I felt was overpriced, but still a good cigar. I am starting to lose interest in overpriced NC cigars.....

CI raved about this being a great cheap smoke so I bought a fiver on CB.
I've never had a cigar this bad in my life (including swishers and tampa nuggets)! Also it had an aftertaste that reminded me of a cigarette.

Now I have to figure out what to do with the other four...

YES!! And they smell like wet grass and pee. I talked about being afraid of them

Was gifted the new Gurka by my local B&M guy, had to sit and smoke some of it with him and did not have the heart to tell him what it really tasted like . Left after about fifteen minutes and as soon as I was around the corner threw it out and fired up a Hemmingway Best Seller to try and clean the pallate.

I look forward to Fridays. I get together with 2 or 3 friends at the local B&M for a cigar at lunch. I usually try to pick out a stick that I've never tried before, and, up until today, I've always been pleased. Today, however, I made a big mistake. Techninja gifted me a few Drew Estates Naturals Clean Robustos a while back. He couldn't stand the sweet-tasting wrapper, but don't really mind the sugar lips because the smoke is so good.
Anyway, I decided to try the Root today.

*shudders*

It was one of the worst cigars I've ever had. The pre-light draw caught me totally off-guard. I decided to light it and give it a go. The light was awkward because of the intentionally raggedy foot on these. I choked down about half of it and finally gave up. To me, it tasted like stale tea leaves. Techninja fired up his pipe and the pleasant smell from it is the only thing that kept me from dropping it immediately. That... and the 6 bucks I paid for it

It was hilarious! He looked sick, but he just kept puffing away. Muttering something about $6.

HAHAHAHA.... so true!

I'm gonna go home and smoke a Thompson cigar just to get the taste out of my mouth

[mtg972]

National Brand Sungrown, Caribe product. Tasted like a big cigarette. Papery wrapper, poor draw, and harsh, bitter taste. yuck

LOL

Actually, I didn't stoop that low. I ended up smoking an Arturo Fuente instead. I appreciate your selfless act of kindness

'05 ERdM CS. I know it's young but I haven't smoked a ERdM that I've liked. I just need to chalk these guys up and stick with Monte and RA.

An Acid Wafe. I lit it up on my porch before I left for school, and I stomped it out about 10 minutes later. It tasted pretty foul, and had an infused smell of Barbarsol about it (and my clothes for that matter). Bleh, I don't think I'll be picking one of those up again.
