Worst Cigar Ever!!!

[RickyJ]

There are WAY too many terrible cigars out there to even begin making a list. I would say maybe 90% of the cigars I have ever tried I didn't like very much. I get suckered into the advertising just like all of us.
But I agree with most of the people on here's lists though, you've mentioned a bunch of pretty subpar cigars. But one man's junk is another man's treasure. Someone here said they hated the 1926. That cigar is some people's favorite and is ranked like #1 or 2 in the world or something. Everyone likes different stuff. However a few brands I personally dont like are ACID, (actually any flavored cigar), Gurkha, Rocky, Perdomo, Torano, Avo, LGC, Fuente, Ashton, Macanudo, actually anything Yuppie-level upscale tends to be junk.
But let me think...what is the WORST cigar I think I ever had? Hmmm...I don't know, maybe for drugstore stuff a Parodi Avanti (yes I tried one of them, and got sick after it the whole next day)

+1 on Don Lino.
Got one free with a purchase from Famous.
AWFUL

Also Acid Kuba Kuba.
Threw it away after only 5 mins. Sweet taste stayed on my lips forever and actually ruined the next cigar that i lit to change the taste in my mouth. Don't mind the Natural line but now stay far away from the flavored ones.

I agreed up til "Too bad..."

Anyone who enjoys that is a creature of mystery for me.

The worst cigar I have tried in 15 years of smoking. Awful and I gave it about 10 puffs and lit something else. My friend thought it was the first time he has seen me NOT nub a cigar, much less toss away.

Private Stock maduro- tasteless, like sucking air through a straw.
I only had one but the experience was so pointless I can't bring myself to waste $ on another.

I have found that most cigars will really improve with age. So, if I smoke a cigar and it really sucks...I usually just put the remainder of what I have in an ageing humidor. This will really improve the taste and performance of the cigar. The only cigar to date that I actually threw away a few minutes after lighting was a Padillia Obsidian. I am a huge fan of the Padillia Miami and Habano line; however, the Obsidian was on its own level. I have two more and both have been aging for about 6 months now...I don't want to come near them again for another 6 months or so. It will be interesting to see what happends after a year...probably a totally different smoke.

The worst tasting cigar I ever had was a Nat Sherman.
The worst "Cigar" I have had was a ISOM Punch Punch that was so plugged, it was like trying to suck a golf ball through a straw from Micky Ds.

That's interesting that a few of you really didn't like the Silver Selection. I found it alright, if a maybe a bit lacklustre; definitely none of the bad flavours you mention. I actually smoked one quite recently and put some some pics up on my website. I've smoked far worse even in the last month or two (i.e. this thread).

I am going to take the plunge and try another one of the free thompson cigars taht came with my humidor. The Night in Havana one went into my fire pit after 10 mins.

Te-Amo! Need I say more?

The term "Dog Rocket" was specifically and originally designed to describe the Cremosa Cubana... The worst excuse for a cigar ever produced.

White Owls and similar not withstanding, I have never had a "bad" cigar. Some have been not as good as others, some have been better than others, and some have been way better than others, but never a bad one.

Lucky? ..... I prefer to think of it as just a frame of mind. Cigars are a lot like life itself. You have good times and you have better times. If you ever truly have a "bad" time you won't know it anyway as you'll be dead and it will no longer matter.

i just smoked a victor sinclair... im not even sure which brand of sinclair it was but it had zero taste... i mean it didnt even taste like paper, it just tasted like nothing... my buddy smoked one at the same time b/c we were given some... its def. the worst cigar ive ever had

[s.tyler]

had a 601 recently that was pretty bad. the first cigar in a long time that i quit after less than an inch.

I'm going to have to second the victor sinclair. I'm smoking the Connecticut Yankee as I type this and while it is not the worst cigar I've ever had, it's pretty bad. Absolutely no flavor profile..
