What are really bad cigars to avoid?

[Docbp87]

Acids: The cigar God's worst creation. LOL

I'll +1 to this. I've smoked a few different Acid's, just for the sake of giving them a fair shake... and boy did I regret every last one of them.

I had a Fonseca the other day that I couldn't tolerate but I know guys that love them. Its all in personal taste my brother.

Yeah, I didn't enjoy the one I smoked either. I also cannot stand Drew Estate Naturals and the Tabac Especial Negro. I tried to like them, but they made me want to vomit.

Real quick here. The Altadis Siglo (Cohiba ripoff band) is the bad one. The Gran Habanos Silgo 3 fumasis a good mixed filler cigar for a good price

*cough* gurkha *cough*

Also, I tend to avoid any smoke that has the same name as cuban brands.

Exactly!

+2 why ruin good natural tobacco with artificial flavor. that being said, i know people who swear by them. so as stated before everyones pallet is different so smoke what you like, try new things, everything else is commentary.

 

[ndimarco]

gurkha castle hall is by far the worst of them all

I'm gonna second the Victor Sinclair nomination.

And I'm gonna go out on a limb (because I know some people really dig them) and say that I've tried various Nubs and did not care for a single one of them. I actually get a little bit nauseous every time I see an ad for them.

Partagas for me. I haven't smoked a single nc partagas that I liked. The last one I tried got tossed well before the halfway mark.

The only bad cigar I've had that I remember being really bad was an H. Upmann Vintage Cameroon Robusto.

I'll probably never have another, so I won't know if it was just that one stick or if they're all that bad.

Exactly!

+2 :thumbsup:

Like many have said, taste is very subjective...One man's trash is another man's treasure.

Personally, I dislike Gurkhas, and after heraing about the dye they add to their wrappers I will never buy anything from Rocky Patel again. Period.

One note...Be sure to try at least two cigars from any line you wish to explore. Reason being you may try 1 cigar from a line and be unlucky enough to try that one bad cigar from the box....Meaning that you gave up on what could very well be your favorite, go-to cigar! try a few to be sure you have given that brand a fair shake.

Clint, that is excellant advice my friend, I always try to keep an open mind when trying new cigars myself!

Gurkha class regent (gag), gurkha anniversario (mud pie), la finca, don tomas...

 

[The BurgerMeister]

i don't understand all the Gurkha hate. i've been heartily enjoying the Micro Batch series lately. i guess i haven't had the same experiences you've all had. :dunno:

personally, i'd say La Gloria Cubana Maduro. i'm in the same camp as those who advise trying 2 sticks before passing judgement... but this one was such an utter failure that i can't see myself spending my hard-earned ducats on another one.

 

[Mr.Erskine]

Truly, each person's taste is their own, as has been repeated 1000's of times. I have a friend that likes Macanudos...

I haven't had a Macanudo yet that I've liked.

 

[KINGLISH]

El Tiante cigars! To me it is like eating aluminum!

 

[NorcalMark]

Name one that does not make you want to lick your dogs genitals to get the taste out of your mouth after smoking it. :glassesgr

Gurkha used to make(they may still) the Symphony 101 with a nice maduro wrapper. Not sure it was broadleaf maduro but it was the best Gurkha made.

 

[Greyghost]

Just myself, Rocky Patel, Gurkhas and Acid's. But again that is just me. Someone else may love them and ones I like others may say it smokes like it just came out of a skunks anal orifice.
