Most disappointing stick?

[laststandchili]

Most disappointing was the Ashton VSG. I picked up a few of these and when I finally fired one up it just wasn't very interesting. Not exactly a super premium, but a cigar I'd heard was well regarded.

I've had a lot of construction issues with Gurkhas. I don't buy them regularly, but sometimes will pick up a 5er at auction and let rest for several months. They're a joke anywhere near MSRP, but they make some decent smokes at a couple bucks per.

Worst stick ever for me was a Pirates Gold. I had picked it up in a huge sampler from a guy that was giving up cigars. I knew it was low end, but thought that given the age on it, it might be ok.

Tasted like wet dog and stale ass sweat. I still haven't been able to air my truck out enough to kill the stink.

I kind of kick myself that I spend so much at B&M's sometimes lol. On the other hand, it's like, hey I spent a few bucks on a few sticks that I didn't like rather than spending the same amount of a 5-er of sticks I didn't like... Disappointing yes... But... oh I forgot where I was going with that lol.

Really? I hear everyone here loving the Brazilia, but hating the Italia, and I am exactly the opposite.

Ive got a few Brazilia's that i need to move out of my humi to make room. Cant stand them.

After reading a ton of hype on another forum, I was very disappointed by the Liga Privada #9 Robusto. Construction was very nice and it burned fairly straight but I was left searching for flavor the whole time. Maybe just a dud but I doubt it.

Had a similar experience with Partagas Black and I think both of those sticks have a similar flavor profile that just does not work for me.

My first Brazilia I was not feeling at all. I have another few sleeping in the box. We'll see what happens when they wake up.

[SIZE=3]WOW! This explains why Baskin & Robbins has 31 flavors.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Some of my favorites are being trashed in this thread:[/SIZE]

• [SIZE=3]HDM Excalibur-admittedly they were much better pre-1990’s cigar boom[/SIZE]
• [SIZE=3]AF Hemingway Signature[/SIZE]
• [SIZE=3]Monty’s[/SIZE]
• [SIZE=3]RP Decade[/SIZE]
• [SIZE=3]Casa Magna[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]Cigar tastes being very subjective, I think most folks are most disappointed with overpriced & over-hyped sticks.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]My nomination in this category is: Graycliff[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]I smoked one with a gold & blue band last night. I think it is one of their cheaper models [/SIZE][SIZE=3]but sucked nonetheless. I have also smoked a very expensive model ($26.00) @ a local B&M that wasn’t much better. [/SIZE]

General consensus is that the Carlito's are hot sh*t with the Don Carlos being super blah. At least for the 2006 versions.
