Depends... Some sticks start off bitter or harsh the first half inch or so then even out I've found. If it really sux, might as well go with something you'll enjoy!

I had the same experience.
That was about 1 year ago. I have 2 more that I am going to try again now that they have some age on them.

Tossed the 1st Indian Tabac Anniversary Limited Reserve Buffalo out of a 10'er and gave the rest away, bad smoke but made it up to my tastebuds with a LFD Double Ligero Chisel...yummy

I'll almost always chuck it unless it's a gift. Now if the draw is bad after I light it, I'll toss it and curse it to hell.

Re: sticks you do not like
 

Unless its a review or a gift, it goes out in under an inch. Even if the flavors are good but the draw is tough it goes out. Ask BengalMan, many a good stick have been extinguished before they even get off the ground. Life is too short to struggle through bad sticks. :tu

toss it

Re: sticks you do not like
 

I toss it.

Re: sticks you do not like
 

Usually the first time I try something, I'll smoke the whole damn thing, even if I have to chase it with something to wipe out the taste...:r
Even my first and only Ghurka...

It's got to go.

Re: sticks you do not like
 

I try to smoke it at least halfway to give it a chance. Some cigars start harsh and end up calming down and becoming delicious.

Re: sticks you do not like
 

I DO NOT LIKE GURKHAS!!!

I shall not, can not, will not ever smoke one again!!! :pu

Now that I got that off my chest, if it's a gift or the first time trying a cigar I'll try and smoke as much of it as I can stomach before tossing it. On the very slim chance that it might get better but that has yet to happen!!

Nick, tell us how you really feel about Gurkhas :r:r:r

Re: sticks you do not like
 

If it's a construction issue and the cigar tastes good, I'll fight with it for a good 20 minutes. The one thing I cannot stand is that sour apple taste a lot of Honduran smokes have. If it tastes bad, I'll pitch it.

Re: sticks you do not like
 

I only toss it when the thing is like sucking a lemon seed through a coffee straw. Other than that I usually smoke it.
