Pirates gold. Had about three decent puffs and then it turned to ass/ash flavored. Just nasty.

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

I never had the balls to try a Cremosa or a Tamboril.:r For me it was a Pinar something or other. It was gifted to me from a local many, many years ago. It was the ones that they claimed they found a warehouse full of pre-embargo Cuban leaf.(cough BullSh*t, cough, cough) Smoking that thing basically tasted like I was sucking on warm air and that was it. No flavor whatsoever. If you would like to know what it tasted like, wait until the winter and if you have forced air in your home wait for the heat to kick on and grab yourself a straw and suck the air coming out of the vent through the straw. You have now replicated what this smoke tasted like. After that the worst smokes I have ever had was basically every single Nub and I tried all of them except for the Cain as I have yet to convince myself to try one. All the others made it a few puffs and were chucked. Lifes to short to waste time smoking sh*tty cigars.

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

I'd have to say this was the most offensive cigar I've tasted/smoked.
And after dissecting this baby and seeing what was inside,instead of tobacco....:pu

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

worst i.ve had so far was called a park avenue, made by gurkha iirc.

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

see, the reason i know you are lying is because you'd never own a whole box of gurkhas!!!

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

i like your avatar.

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

It's called "comedic license", Bobby. ;) :r

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

All these neophytes!! Gurkhas are Opus beside Cremosa's. I will be happy to hook-up a select few brothers' that haven't had the "pleasure" of a Cremosa up with both a Cremosa and a Gurkha for a side by side comparison. Only requirement is that they will have to smoke at least half of each cigar and write up a review! I think I have three Cremosa's left. But, may be only two. Will have to dig them out and count.

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

Thanks for the offer brother... but I PASS!!!:tu

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

I am surprised about all the Gurkha hate... I have had over a dozen of them and have found them to be very consistent and never had one that I didn't like.

And someone here said they took 2 puffs and put it down? Really? Even the best cigars sometimes start out funny.

:td

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

I must be the Bizarro dwoodward... I have had over a dozen of them and never had one I did like. :)

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

There's funny, there's rancid, and then there's "If I continue to smoke this I'll probably end up in the hospital / I question the cigars claim that this is made of tobacco."

I'd imagine the two puffer's are in the last category.

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

Keep in mind that I am new to all of this, but one day I was in my local smock shop and I bout a flavored Phillie Blunt...I forgot which flavor it was. That thing was horrid.

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

:pu

I then to learn the hard way as well... ;)

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

Haha, I don't think they are intended to be smoked as cigars, at least not the filler.

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

Gurkha tripel something or another. It had a sour/metallic taste to it. I guess it was like putting your loose change from your pocket in your mouth:r

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

Professor Sila ....back in 1997 during the boom. It tasted like nothing, no flavor...well maybe some paper or something.

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

The White Owl Pineapple that I reviewed here:

Even the Lars Tetens Gorilla Finger and Cremosa Cuba were better than that cigar, or, at least I didn't get chemical burns from the smoke on them.

La Vieja Habana. Terrible. They were like gasoline infused turds.

Nasty

Some folks must like them, I am not one.

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

And some people like Pinapple infused White Owls, too! :r

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

Once you get past the part about feeling like someone just poured liquid Draino all over your face and tounge, I'd say that the Pineapple White Owl is a decent cigar.

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

I started smoking cigars about a year ago and really have not had a "worst cigar". Though admittedly have not strayed far from what are generally considered good cigars.

Way back, before I started smoking cigars, I had what must have been hundreds of crappy cigars....though have no idea what they were.... They were the exact reason before last September, regardless of the cigar offered, I probably would have declined due to my previous experiences....


P.S. I was belly laughing at Tom's reviews.... Funniest thing I have read in weeks, maybe longer...

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

Ghurka FTL! (for the loss)

;)

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

Mmmm, Drano!

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

You should try it in a Maduro. . . Perfection!

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

I'll hafta take your word on that.

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

No, not really.

Now, if it were Liquid-Plumr, that's something I could get behind.

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

No Dave loved 'em....Can't remember which one he liked best though. (Ignore the red look on his face, he's just using the outdoor facilities....;))

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

Isn't that a new Drew Estate product, an extension of their Acid line, called "Base"; *For when things can't get any worse*. :=:

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

Nah, Jon only uses natural products for the infusions, so it would have to be more like a new CAO Flavor. Moontrance, CherryBomb, BellaVanillia, DrainOpener, Eileen's Dream...

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

Ah, good to know. So their LVHs are meant to taste like sh!t, but naturally.

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

Maroma.....gave the box away

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

*shrug*

The LVH line has never been an infused line, years ago, it used to be a long filler line with two blends: a medium bodied Cameroon wrapper (LVH) and a full-bodied Conn. broadleaf maduro (LVH Early Years). Then they disappeared for a year or year and a half, then came back as their current incarnation as mixed-filler cigars from scrap trimmings from other lines. One of the problems with mixed filler & short filler is that the bend can be inconsistent. Another thing about scrap trimmings is that the wrapper leaf has to be removed before the tobacco is used in mixed filler cigars because the wrapper will burn bitter inside the cigar. Someone could have messed up and you got a stick with a bunch of wrapper in the filler.

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

I know that they're not infused, but gawd, they were awful! I bought a box 'cause they were on sale for a stupid low price. I gave it the ol' college try, I smoked about 5 of 'em before I gave-up.

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

Something called "Equus." It sure wasn't a cigar by any measure except the shape.

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

Heh. I've done that before too.

Then there was that one night years ago I went cheap cigar hunting on cbid while drunk.

Big mistake. Ended up with a huge box, way too large to fit in the lockers at the post office (the clerk brought the box out to the counter on a freaking cart, and I was just standing there going WTF? This box must have been at least 2ft square, maybe closer to 3 in one dimension) full of crap cigars and 10 empty boxes showing up the next week that I didn't even remember ordering. Funny thing was, it only cost me less than $100 to fill that. So, that should give you an idea just how bad most of them were. Everything on CI's "Unsmokeables" page, yeah, I've tried them... and then some...

:pu :pu :pu

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

Creamosas aren't that bad compared to that Lars Gorilla Finger.

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

Equus is Latin for "horse" so...

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

Generally speaking, Unsmokable as a description doesn't inspire any confidence in the product.

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

Yup. Unfortunately, they didn't have that page back then to warn me.

Gee, I just bought half a dozen 5er's of Rosa Cubas and Oreo Cubanas for $1 each along with an entire box of Don Elias for $7, what could possibly go wrong?

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

1. Acid Kuba Kuba
2. Bucanero red label

Wow!!!! Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner For That Feat, Brother!;)

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

Blasphemy! I have to say a Gurkha Legend is the worst.

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

Anything from CFO

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

What went wrong was they were delivered. :D

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

*puts on flame suit*

I am sure i will get a lot of $hit for this post. But I don't like anything from DPG.

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 

Thompson's Iguana. A Candela (and very very green candela at that) wrapped cigar. Kind of tasted like a burning iguana.

I don't remember why I bought these. Must have been Thompson's spiffy catalog, plus I thought green cigars looked cool.
