I have tasted a Cremosa, it wasn't that bad. I have had much worse. I have tasted an Acid. A Kuba Kuba, it was very sweet, not really my thing but my buddy loved it. :2

If you like it smoke it who gives a flying^&^$$# what I think.:2

Yes and no. I agree, smoke what you like, but at the same time, I take a lot of people at face value here who say a cigar is good or bad. I don't necessarily write off a cigar just because someone here says it sucks, but if I know that they like a lot of smokes that I like, and hate a certain stick, I will take it into consideration before I try one.
I like a lot of sticks that people here hate, but I also agree w/ a lot of people about cigars too.

But well said. :tu
I think Puros Indios set my record for shortest time I've smoked a cigar. About a sixteenth of an inch in and I knew I didn't like it. :tg

I was just saying if you enjoy it then it shouldn't matter what others think. I do the same thing, I read what others think but I still wnt to try for myself. If I like it then that is all that I care about.

No argument there. I was just pointing out another side to the story.:tu

Anything made/produced by:

Rocky Patel (particularly the "R4", Fusion, Indian Tabacs, & Sun Grown)
Rolando Reyes (Puros Indios, Roly, Cienfuegos, etc)
Nestor Plasencia (El Mejor Espresso, Nestor Reserve, etc)
Nick Perdomo (ESV, Habano, Reserve lines, etc)
Victor Sinclair
Felipe Gregorio

I'm pretty tolerant, but the ones I've listed are exxed off my list for good. I'm tired of pitching sticks, and life's just too short. I know I'll probably catch flack for the Rocky Patels & Perdomos but after 12 years of serious cigar smoking, I have never been dissapointed by a cigar line more often than those two. Sad too, because when I first smoked the Perdomo Reserves back in 2000, I really really liked them.

Just for comparison, notice that I haven't exxed off Drew Estates ;). For me to exx something off the list, it's got to disagree with me pretty hardcore.

I agree, John and others, that you should try lots of cigars, and form your own opinions, not write off a line due to others' opinions or limited experience. Smoke what you like, like what you smoke. :)

That being said, I have smoked enough cigars from the brands I have sworn off of to have my own educated opinion, and make no apologies for those opinions.

After smoking many cigars, somewhere in the thousands, I have come to the conclusion I can pretty much find something good from someones hand rolled collection of beauties.

I have to wonder though, when someone smokes (inset cigar here) that they feel is bad inevitably the next words out of their mouth is this brand is crap, I'll never smoke another ____ again. As I said, that is your choice, but you may be missing out on a really fine smoke.
PM me your addy and I will send you a cremosa and a guantanamere cristales. Maybe I can find you a gorillafinger too.

Of the name brand NC's,I could never find a Camacho I liked.
Most other recognized NC brands,I can usually find something tolerable.

Perfectly logical to give up on a brand if you don't get anything you care for. I am pretty hard headed, or maybe just curious, and will keep trying anything new that comes out even if it is from a maker that has not thrilled me in the past.

I'm in the NUB camp. Love everything Oliva except that part of the brand. Won't smoke Acids either.
