:tpd: And as for your bad experience with one Onyx, I'd only quote the wisest words I've ever heard on this topic

The worst cigar you ever smoked may be sitting in the same box right beside the best cigar you ever smoked.

I'm not saying you are wrong about Onyx - I'm just saying don't condemn a whole line due to one bad experience. And if you want some REALLY bad cigars, PM me your snaily. :r

Even so - you will likely have far worse cigars... Cremosa and Guantanamera come to mind..

:tpd:
I bought a box of them over a year ago. Most have been fine, but the odd one was harsh and some had burn issues. However, after 7 or 8 months on them, they improved immensly. I'm really enjoying how they are smoking now with over a year's age on them.
Based on your descriptions, I would assume you just got a bad stick. I never tasted anything remotely resembling plastic.:2

Re: My worst cigar..so far.

First one I smoked sucked. All of the ones I've smoked since have been great!
For the price, these are good, imho.

Re: My worst cigar..so far.

I had a Gurkha Master’s Select Perfecto #3 (4.0" x 54) last Sat. and it damn near made me :pu
Hey Nick, I have more just for you....:r

Re: My worst cigar..so far.

I had a Oliva Connecticut something... yeah it was pretty tasteless.

Boy was I in for one hell of a shock, the wrapper was dark and didn't have too many veins. It did have some tooth to it. Pre light draw was ok, not outstanding, a pronounced sweetness maybe a little floral note too.
The cigar just didn't taste right from the beginning, the cigar tasted almost as if someone grabbed a handful of hay and rolled it into a maduro wrapper I could almost taste a hint of burning plastic also. the draw wasn't extremely easy but it was tough to get a decent amount of smoke. I fought with the first inch or so of the cigar, no leather taste, no cocoa, no coffee. just the taste of acrid smoke. needless to say the cigar ended up on my lawn and was mulched by my lawnmower a few days later. I can liken the taste of that cigar to what a car fire smells like... terrible.
I haven't since picked up an onyx cigar, but I might have to give it a go just to see if the first was a fluke.

My friend, you need a Petrus Reposado.

That will make your onyx look like a Parti Lusitania.
:r:r

If he thinks thats bad, someone needs to send him a Cremosa!

When it comes down to the old cello on/off argument, 100% of us agree that cigars taste and smoke better when removed from their cello.

Any Hawaiian Macadamia Nut cigar in a tube. Trust me, don't go there even if the person who is loaning you his house insists on sharing one of these gems. We both nearly puked after 2 puffs.
