What other sticks can you add to the list of - "The Unsmokables?"

[AnthonyP]

I know alot of people will want to punch me for saying this and I am assuming it was just an odd stick, but the worst I've had recently was the Diesel Unholy Cocktail. Tasted like diesel fuel.

Wow, I heard this was a great stick too!

 

[SergeantStogie]

DO NOT take my experience as typical. I know alot of people love em. I think it was just a bad stick.

A Flor de Filipinas chocolate-infused cigarillo that a cousin bought for me while I was in the Philippines last year as well as some other non-infused local brand––assuming, of course, that they'd ever make CI's inventory. Both tasted like burnt newspapers....

 

[hdroadglide]

for the old timers, remember back in the boom days, they imported all those phillipine cigars??? omg. they were all hideous. i remember one had a rooster on it.

 

[smokinghole]

Thats a bummer, I've got one sitting in my humidor that I was looking forward to. :frown:

I'm not a fan of connecticut shade tobacco. So take my comment for what it's worth. I do like the oliva conn. reserve because it actually has FLAVOR!

 

[The BurgerMeister]

yeah... connecticuts seem to have a bit of a chemical flavor going on. sometimes it's overstated (like this Fonseca i had a little while ago), and sometimes it's subtle.

anyway... an unsmokeable for me is the Gloria Cubana Maduro. :barf:

Fighting Cock.

good gawd were those horrible.

 

[mhlatke]

I've never been able to finish any Victor Sinclair stick.

 

[tobii3]

what made you LIGHT it in the first place??:blush:

 

[TheDudeAbides]

Graycliff G2 cheapies CI is throwing in with alot of there sampler deals. I'm fairly certain "dish soap" is not a flavor profile that's going to catch on. At least not with me.

 

[njstone]

There have not been that many cigars that I've had which I thought tasted BAD. Not good, sure, not much flavor, definitely. But only a few that were really BAD--and got pitched.

Oliveros Classic ... just horrible.

Also, I thought the La Aurora Preferidos Equador (the small perfecto) that I had was just disgusting--pitched it half-way through.

There have been a couple other cigars that I thought tasted bad, but upon trying it again thought it was decent or even good, so I chalk that up to a "bad stick." There have been close to a dozen of those at least.

Phillie Blunt

 

[smokinghole]

Ooh yeah Nate you reminded me. I throughly disliked the La Aurora Barrel Aged Corona I smoked. Don't know what it was at this point but it was nasty.

 

[vivalanation734]

Any Rocky Patel with a dyed wrapper

Second.



In addition, I can't stand dominican tobacco (Fuentes make me gag).

 

[Treinenwj]

Anything you can find at Walgreens.

 

[Reeve11]

Flor De Oliva .... I can't smoke um.

 

[LiLo]

Flor De Oliva .... I can't smoke um.

yeah people will often tell me the maduros aren't bad but man they suck. Yuck. Also people will often say the benchmades are good too but i tried one and it was horrible. It turned into a mushy mess after like 10 puffs.

I was sitting at Blue Smoke watching a Rays game when we got into this discussion, as several of the guys swear by the Flor de Oliva's. So I bought a churchill and sat down to enjoy it. That lasted about 60 seconds and I spent another 20 minutes hoping I was wrong.

I finally trashed it and grabbed a DCM #4 to wash the taste out of my mouth
