The absolute worst stick I've ever smoked is a Rosa Cuba. It came in a free sampler from CVM Cigars - and I soon found out why. I can't possibly describe how bad this stick was. Maybe if you wrapped a dog turd in newspaper, soaked it in brake fluid and lit it, you might approximate the taste. This was a small stick and I tossed it after about an inch. To read the online description of these you would think they were cloaked in gold: "Rolled with a Dominican binder leaf and leaves from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua, these Rosa Cuba cigars are robust and flavorful smokes at an incredible value." They're flavorful, all right, if you consider stale vomit a flavor.

Honorable mention: Carbon Copy. A Dominican claiming to be a "carbon copy" of the Cuban Cohiba, given the ripoff of the colors and the general band pattern. I had to try one out of curiosity and tossed it after about three puffs. It was dreadful.

BTW - for those looking to unload the LGCs, PM me. We can work out a trade.

I just smoked a Camacho Maduro Red Label Perfecto and it tasted horrible. Very bitter.

The worse I've smoked so far was a Bahia Blu that I received in my first sampler I purchased. The first time I've experienced a cigar that tasted like burning paper. Stay away from these people.

My low was an Oliveros El Padrone. Like smoking steam, or more accurately the steam off fresh dog $hit. Truly sickening, followed not too closely by Dark Shark. I was lucky because one of my boys actually liked the DS. He got the box too.

The Olor Fuerte maduro was so boring I about fell asleep smoking it.

Keep it up guys I am making a list of cigars not to try.

Just joking, I know everyone has different taste and that is half the fun of trying them. You never know if it is going to be the best or a dog rocket.

A Carlos Torano Signature. It tasted like dry dirt. I will probably smoke another one some day just to see if perhaps it was a bad stick.

I just got a Fiver of the Gurkha Sherpa and I tried one today, Man.... It tastes like your actually smoking @$#*!% burnt charcoal from the grill!!! I got suckered by the CI ad (If you like RyJ, Master Select, Punch Rare Corojo) try these.... LOL, what a bunch of CRAP!!! I vow, to never buy cheapo smokes again, unless people absolutely rave about a specific one. I truly wonder where CI gets their fan mail for some their cheapo cigars, probably their marketing dept or by people with fried taste buds.

Ahhh,....... but on to my worst cigar in the world list:

Gurkha Sherpa (Taste like burnt coal)
Padron 1926 (many rave about it, but I don't get it - I do love the 1964 though)
RP 1990 (Couldn't finish it)
El Emerald (LOL - Oh man)
5 Vegas Classic (Just Bland to me)

The worst in recent memory for me was the LFD El Museo....Waste of time and money...

I'm glad I'm not the only one here who dislikes that stick.

Acid Earthiness. It will be the first and last Acid I ever smoke. I just hate that syrupy taste on the lips that the wrapper gives me...and it stays for the entire smoke! Too bad, cuz the actual smoke flavor and aroma of the cigar were nice. Just can't stand that syrup. To each his own.

It was a Helix, it was terrible! Tasted like a
