Worst cigar of 2017.

[ChuckMejia]

" And the La Imperiosa, Ive had about half a dozen and none of them made it more than halfway, relights literally every other puff. "
after the first one it should have been apparent that your cigar was too moist.
did you not realize this after five more?

Hehe

Can't remember exactly which cigar was the worst, but I know I have had a few I have chucked out half way through...just don't have the time to waste on a crappy plugged cigar.

I've had a few. A couple were OK, at best. One was absolutely unsmokable for me. Put it out after only about 5 mins. I just don't get it with this blend.

I'm visiting lots of B&Ms and for giggles been picking up house brands in the hope of finding a keeper or two, it probably goes without saying that the search goes on. As a whole the worse mishmash of cigars I could find.

This is a very interesting idea! Would probably make for a great thread topic, too.

On that note: a few years ago, we went to the Florida Keys for vacation. We drove down from MIA where we flew in and I stopped at a cigar shop called "Cigars in the Keys" on the Islamorada Island. They had a decent selection and I found their house rolled cigars called "Mile Marker 82" - the cigar itself was really well done but it did have a super cheesy band on it. I decided to buy a couple to try them out and I remember thinking that they were fantastic! I just checked their website and I see you can order some online - I think I might place an order for a few singles to try them out again and see if they are as good as I remember them being.

@Zmilin see... we are not the only ones.

Macanudo Inspirado Black. Might be the worst cigar I've had in years.

Just curious, does the cost of the cigar affect your opinion?

It's all subjective. If the cost of a cigar led you to believe that it was part of, or the, reason that it was the worst cigar of 2017, then list it.

If you dropped $18 on a cigar... and it was complete trash... would you be upset?

 

[Boudie]

Maybe you should start a thread ""When was the last time you felt "ripped off" by a cigar?""

That's what this is

With better wording

 

[Boudie]

I don't know, I don't feel ripped off by bad 3 dollar cigars. Just kind of "you got what you paid for".

 

[ChuckMejia]

Cool

 

[bwhite220]

Again, it's subjective. If it was a bad cigar because of taste, tell us. If it was a bad cigar because of cost, tell us. Don't overthink it.

 

[ChuckMejia]

Don't overthink it.

The one I smoked yesterday finally came around. Still needs a bit more time but its smoking good now. Too bad we had to wait over a year for a NC to smoke well. I guess its the norm with CCs and we get bent when NCs go there.

The Las Calaveras 2017 CG is a disappointment for me. I finally smoked one that didnt develop a cavernous hole but the flavors were not there. Cest la vie.

Isn't that supposed to be a redux or an older version? Good marketing technique
