Toss up between the Free Cuba and the Drew Estate Egg Maduro. Well, I only dry heaved the Free Cuba, I actually threw up smoking the Egg, so, probably the Egg.

Would also like to add

for now
Graycliff G2
Tat - Red Tubo

I think they were duds....only time will tell.

x2 on the Graycliff G2..will also add the Graycliff Espresso PG. Although, I've heard the double espresso is much better

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.

The 3000s are pretty decent for yard smokes...

The worst I have ever had was a Camacho Havana. The old kind with the red/gold foil type band. So vegetal it was like eating brocolli. Nasty smoke, smelled horrible and probably to worst tunneling ever. Maybe it was a bad one, but I get a bit nauseous thinking about it.

Had to be a dud. These are one of my go to smokes. I have had a few duds, but on the whole I'm a fan.

Graycliff Espresso PG...had two and didn't care for them. Maybe they needed rest, dunno. It's the only thing holding me back from trying the double espresso.

A comic makes a cigar line --- and you thought it would be good? :confused:

I guess that's why there are like 1400 different types so we can all find different stuff we like.

I have friend that doesn't like opus either so like they say we all smoke what we like and like what we smoke LOL

Happy Smoking !

I actually liked most of the acids I've tried:r i would gladly smoke The Egg and see how long the smile lasted, since the only reviews I've seen are bad, but I wouldn't buy one, too expensive

I love the espreso series especially the doubles. They are great for my short ride to work. Get yourslf a 5er. you won't be dissapointed and don't pay retail, they aren't worth MSRP. I wait for deals on the Devil Site!

I still get nauseous whenever I think back to the times I tried Lars Tetens and Acid cigars. Oh, the horror! THE HORROR!!!

Also, Guantanamera. A Cuban cigar, sure, but BLECH!!! :td

Mine was the 1876 line from CI. I fell for the BS of "This cigar is so good, you'd expect to pay $10 for this $1 cigar" or whatever 3-4 years ago. It was awful.

shark 10-07-2010 06:56 PM

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 
Although I never smoked them, I've heard horror stories about a couple of brands during the cigar boom: Tabantilla and Papayo.

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 
Felipe Gregorio Icon, I think it was the "Twain". Kind of a nifty band, with all sorts of famous cigar folk on it. The best way i can describe the flavor would be to have ya'll imagine licking the arse of one of those famous racing toads Mark Twain wrote about, just after it had finished a race across a pig pen, rendering plant, hospital waste dump, and an open sewer outside an Indian food restaurant.
I'm a bit of a trooper when it comes to cigars, I hate to throw out what I spent good currency on, but the Felipe Gregorio Icon was more than I could handle.

Also up there was a 5 Vegas Cask Strength. That one was my fault though as we were at a party and the cigar was sitting outside in WAY too much humidity. It was wet when I tried to smoke it...

It wasnt the worst cigar I have ever smoked, I think I had some reasonable expectations of being able to enjoy it, the overwhelming dry cedar taste just was very unpleasent

Re: what's the WORST cigar you've smoked?
 
The strangest thing happened the other day, the worst cigar I've had changed from the CAO America to an Oliva Serie V belicoso o_o it was so bad, i couldn't finish it, and the flavors were indescribably bad, but i have had the robustos frequently in the past and loved them, i wonder if it was the way it was stored in the b&m's humidor, but i was sick after 3" of that cigar

This cigar is a f***ing beast. 52 RG, over 6” long. The people I meet with weekly would get a huge kick out of me smoking something so uncharacteristically large…

1st/3rd:

Pre light draw is pretty much too easy… this thing is like a straw. A really, really fat straw. Lighting it and starting out, I’m really not getting anything from this flavor-wise at the very beginning. Just smoke. Blech… at this point I wonder if I’ll even be able to finish this thing. It’s the flavor of burning leaves being sucked through a big, fat straw.

Oh god… this is bad. I swear I just got chlorine, like I accidently got water in my mouth at a YMCA pool.

If it weren’t for the awful flavors that occasionally appear, there would be none.

2nd/3rd:

http://i725.photobucket.com/albums/w...x/CIMG0403.jpg

I figure this can’t get much worse, so I decided to pair it with a nice tall cup of bleach. The burning in my gullet and the feeling of corroding esophageal lining and stomach tissue offsets the pungent, acrid smoke this atrocity spews forth.

I am wondering if the Mr. Yuk sticker is on the box this came from. Smoking this makes me feel like Kermit in the “Sad Kermit – Hurt” video (look that up on youtube at your own risk… if you have a truly demented sense of humor, you may laugh quite a bit. I’d almost call it NSFW, but it is a muppet, after all…).

My throat feels like I swallowed a pitchfork. I don’t hate myself enough to finish this.

http://i725.photobucket.com/albums/w...x/CIMG0404.jpg


Score: -5,452,805,013 out of 10. This should be used as a method of torture… it tastes like unbridled sorrow.



Turned out to be an Illusione Epernay. :D

I found those to not be worth the money tbh. They are not awful, but I would not buy them again. As for Gurkha's, I have only tried the Assassins and I like them quite a bit. Now back on topic, the worst cigar I have ever smoked had to be a Rocky Patel - Cameroon Legend Toro. Shame on Rocky :td

Padilla Achilles could be a close runner up, but although it made me gag, it was technically really well done. If you dig fresh green paint, you'd love it. :tu
