Yeah, I won the dunk dumbass award for that one for sure.

Yup.

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

I actually forgot another one that was absolutely terrible. Put it down after an inch because it smelled like ammonia. It was a Victor Sinclair something or other. Can;t believe I forgot about that one.

Dunhill Signature robusto.... it was as if someone lit dirt, rubbed in black pepper and jammed it in my (cotton)mouth.

Easy question for me. Gurkha Vintage. Tasted like cardboard...but the cardboard of a greasy pizza box. Awful. And unlike many, there are a couple Gurkhas I like.

Cremosa Cubana at the PPPP during Shack Herf VI. I'm pretty sure there was arsenic in it. :pu

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

Don't recall the "actual" name of the cigar, but the circumstances how it came about tell all!!! I had a ride-along at work one night and we got to talkin about cigars, so he comes up with the bright idea to grab a couple sticks and have a smoke. Okay here is where you wanna grab the barf bag from the seat cushion in front of you...

Its late and I know there's not a legitimate place to buy a cigar within 20 miles, so he demands that we stop at a liquor store/dougnut shop/ video store. He grabs a couple of so called cigars from the counter display and we head back to the veranda at work. I fiddled with that friggin grotesque piece of bark and weeds for over an hour, before I finally had to tap out!! I thought my taste buds would never speak to me again!!:bh

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

La Aurora Barrel Aged.

Bought a box back in my NC days.

Smoked one.............reminded me of belly button lint and toe jam wrapped in a used vacuum cleaner bag.

Seems to me I sold the rest..............happily.

Funny how a cigar can make you think of licking the dogs ass just to get the taste out of your mouth.

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

I kinda want to try the Tamboril now... not sure about the rest but been hearing how awful those really are, makes me want to try it even more! Anyone have one laying around they are will trade?

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

Almost fell off my chair while reading this post, damn good writing Icehog

Tamboril

I decide to smoke the Tamboril in the parking garage near where I work. Pulling the cigar from its cellophane jail, I swear I have seen this cigar before. Finally, it comes to me…it is just the same as the Cuban Cohibas I bought from the guy walking the beach in Cancun last summer. A squeeze reveals a spongy construction, much like a contraceptive sponge prior to insertion.

Pre-light draw

The pre-light draw is a taste to remember…its what I imagine sucking powdered goat feces through a straw made of petrified moose $hit might taste like. I contemplate quitting the contest and sending Dave back his extra smokes, but decide that if I can have a root canal with no anesthesia, I can smoke this cigar.

The smoke

As I toast the end, the smell of the Killing Fields of Cambodia is what I perceive. All the pain and torture endured there seems only slightly worse than the experience I am beginning. The first draw fills my mouth with smoke that would be better suited for a fire at a tire factory, but I press on, knowing that I must help Dave find some answers to his dilemma. My head begins to pound like a headboard in a Ginger Lynn movie, but I puff again, trying to keep the smoke in and the bile down. The cigar is burning sideways and fast, and finally I can take no more. I see a homeless man walking by in his filthy clothes, and I ask him to spit in my mouth to take away the taste of the Tamboril. He obliges and the stale taste of Mad Dog 20/20 and Virginia Slims is a welcome change. I offer him the remainder of the cigar as a reward for his kind gesture, and he slugs me square in the mouth. The mixture of my own blood and the Mogan David remain with me on my journey home for the second part of my adventure.

Cremosa

I take the Cremosa out of its wrapper, and am immediately overwhelmed by the scent of Miss Locascio’s house. Miss L was the woman on our block with 72 cats, 3 ferrets and a nasty flatulence problem. The cigar feels harder than the mattress at the Motel 6 and has the same color as the middle of horrorview’s prescription thong.

Pre-light draw

The pre-light draw feels looser than an Irish hooker on St Patrick’s Day. I long for the taste of spit and blood again as I taste the rancid pork washed down with spoiled milk flavor that the Cremosa offers.I shudder as I reach into my pocket for my lighter. As I contemplate my next move, Chevy Chase appears on my shoulder…”See the cigar, hog….be the cigar”….I flick my bic.

The smoke

The smell of the cigar is a familiar one….the smoke smells like the water that leaks out of a dumpster behind a Mexican restaurant on a 95 degree day. My head swims with irrational thoughts….”should I slit my wrists?”….”should I eat a bullet?”…..”should I watch 'American Idol'?”. Finally, sanity creeps back in, and I rush to the sink. No time for the Drew Estates Dave included as a palate cleanser, I reach for the Liquid Plumber and greedily chug from the bottle. The second degree burns scorching my tongue bring welcome relief from the taste of the Craposa. In the ambulance, the paramedic asks ”what is that rancid pork and spoiled milk smell on your breath”, even as he stabilizes my vital signs. I will live, he tells me, and by the way, he found my cigar and saved it for me. I wonder if they will have any sharp items in my hospital room?

So the loser… or the winner…of the worst of the worst…Cremosa. Thanks a lot Dave…I will send you the hospital bills.

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

My worst had to be an ACID Nasty....the write up swore it was full of Chocolately goodness. THEY LIED. Holy cow was that an exercise in fortitude. I bought it at a B&M and paid WAY too much for it....like 12 bucks, so I couldn't just toss it, although I should have. I thought I was gonna die. I wished I would have. It was bad bad bad bad bad bad.

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

Negative. Having done a side by side comparison of the Gurkha Viper with a Cremosa at this year's Shack PPPP, I can say with absolute certainty that the Viper is the worst tasting cigar. Ever.

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

That's pretty serious!:r

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

Tamboril!!!:td

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

Sadly, it is this brand that I smoked way back in the day when I first started smoking. I would walk into a B&M and always grab a couple of these and Punch Maddies.:td

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

Thanks for reminding me how bad these were......a close second to Ghurka IMO. Then again I only have a few years of smoking under my belt so it could change.

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

I thought the Cremosa was just a tad worse then the Gurkha Viper from the PPPP but both made me yearn for one of the dogs turds to get the taste to go away.

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

If a Te-Amo is the worst you've had, consider yourself very privileged.

what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?

I think the worse smoke I have had in recent memory would be the Consuegra Maduro. On a recommendation from a cigar friend I bought a bundle at JR Cigars. About a buck a stick and planned on smoking them as a yard cigar anyway. Big mistake. Burns HOT and bitter. No I don't over smoke or puff to frequently. It's just a certified dog rocket. :<

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

Worst for me ... a Pirata presidente bundle I picked up from Thompson. They were fire logs disguised as cigars you could see the wax dripping from the maduro wrapper.

Im pretty sure Gurkha means dog-chit in Arab.

Seriously, any one have a Temboril or that Gurkha Viper they wanna trade me?

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

Some of you might recall the "Gurkha Challenge" that smokinape put together. To this day the Gurkha Signature 101 Maduro Robusto is the worst cigar I have ever smoked. I sometimes get tremors just thinking about it.

Not trying to come off a snob, but I only smoke Cremosas from the 20th century.

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

Yes, send it over. I think I can find something here for you. :tu

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

ah yes the worst cigar I ever had the displeasure of almost vomiting up later. Now I'll be honest I stumbled upon this intensely rare find at a smoker friendly. After months of black and mild wine and those fine fine white owls which I loved oh so much (note to self find a time machine go back in time and punch self in the nards for ever smoking those vile things) I decided I would approach the mighty cabinet humidor they kept in the back near the Redman and so called pound bags of menthol pipe tobacco. After picking through three or for boxes of Drew Estate's acid line and deciding 10 bucks was too much for a 2 inch cigar, and 15 was too much for something black named after Shakespeare's masterpiece I found it. A real man's cigar the All American Churchil Maduro. Yes I said it, I smoked a brand called All American, had a tiny eagle on his band and everything. To say that I was horrified by the taste would be false. I thought I was big bad stuff with a 7 inch piece of dog dirt. I smoked one a little later, and after waking up from the coma and my months of therapy I am ready to talk about it. Consider something so vile, so evil that it actually makes being impaled on a telephone pole look like a good alternative. It tasted like stale air mixed with that oh so lovely rotting fish dumpster outside of your favorite long john silvers. the scent of the smoke was something akin to what happens when you introduce a yeti to a skunk, smear him with rancid milk and set him ablaze. Never smoke this abomination, ever.


this post is dedicated to whatever other fool victims this dog rocket has claimed, as I have been back to SF and these monstosities are all gone.

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

Some unlabeled dog rocket at New Havana smoke shop, Franklin TN. Some guy sold me 2 dogrockets which he said "GREAT" for $6 a smoke. I probably smoked half an inch of the cigar before chucking it out the window. AWFUL, never going back to that B&M again.

I should have known better when he said we're closed but I'll sell you 2 for $12 tax free.

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

I officially had my WORST cigar today. Ordered a box off of Famous. Decent reviews online, very reasonable price...paid about 45 for a box of 20.

Carinos Maduro Churchill.

Should have known it was gonna be weird when I cut it and the wrapper and the filler were VERY different colors. Definitely a dyed maduro. Very bitter upon lighting, and NEVER EVER EVER got better. I kept hoping, kept giving it the benefit of the doubt. BLEH. Actually lit up the nub of a cigar I had smoked earlier that day to get the taste out of my mouth.

Learned my lesson. You get what you pay for. Dang it. I hate learning that lesson.

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

Romeo Y Julieta Reserva Real was my first and I did not like it. Barely better than a cigarette, which I hate. I talked to the guy who runs the humidor and he knows my taste in beer so he recommended The Edge Maduro, which I enjoyed, but wanted even more. So, I've had a pretty expensive taste from the get go. I always want more flavor. CAO America was pretty bad too. Tried that for the 4th of July.

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

Carlos Torana Casa Torano, the first cigar in years that I gave up on after only an inch or so. I would rather smoke an Optimo Palma.

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

Really?? Was it the maduro version? If so, just goes to show the different tastes. Because I LOVE those!! Never had the natural.

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

Famous 3000 are the exception to the rule, give em a try if you have not allready:tu

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

Sorry to hear the reserva real wasn't good, sure it wasn't a dud? LOVE that cigar.

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

It was the natural (CT?), maybe I just got a bad one but it has turned me off from Torano.

Tierra del Sol, Gurka Serpia any of the Macanudo

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

My worst was a CAO America, tried it twice, and made it halfway twice vomiting afterwords twice

Needless to say, I was hesitant to try the La Traviata, but glad I did, made up for wasting money on a dog rocket that costs more than some of my favorites

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

CAO La Traviata. Maybe I just got a bad one, but barely made it halfway through the stick before I couldn't stand it anymore. There was no draw with how loose it was, the flavor just tasted harsh and like heat, and the burn wasn't great.
