Anything Gurkha :D

Dont tell that to Bobby :r

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

El Triunfador

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

I hope not Gurkha, I bought a box of the green dragons last March. I've been waiting to try one for a while now.


Chris.....

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

Aside from the obvious things (which I don't buy) what I did buy that sucked huge was a 5vr of Cohiba Maduro Secretos. YUK!

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

I bought an event only Padron for $40. I'm a sucker.

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

Opus X

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

El Triunfador also.

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

I smoked a lot of stuff in 09. Some great and some not so much. The only cigar that sticks in my mind that I absolutely hated was the Casa Magna Oscuro.

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

I'm surprised you guys didn't like the El Triumfador. I didn't like it either, but I thought I was the only 1...

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

I absolutely love these but the price tag keeps me from having them in a regular rotation. The worst stick in '09 for me had to be a Diamond Crown Maximus Robusto. I thought the first one was a fluke but the second one was just as unimpressive as the first.

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

Since I smoked a couple Gurkhas in the Punishment-Puff-Pass in '09, I can heartily agree. ;)

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

For me, Tat Noella Reserva. Certainly not worth the coin.

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

I tried the Ashton ESG, good smoke. At its usual price? Not the best value IMO.

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

Anything CAO for me, I can't remember having a good one :td

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

It's times like this I'm glad I'm poor - I have never wasted money on over-hyped crap, because I just don't have money to waste.

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

Too much Opus, I didn't need to buy that many.

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

For me... The Drac...

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

I might get beat over this one but Cains. Habano or Maduro. I thought they both sucked.

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

I'm not rolling in piles of cash either, but I think its good to at least try everything once, better to regret smoking something than to regret not smoking something. :2

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

Gene Arganese got a lot of my money in 2009!!!:r

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

OK, then send me one of everything, and I'll send you back :2. :r

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

Oh yeah sure, I'll purchase you some of these as soon as I stop lighting my cigars with new, crisp 50 dollar bills.;)

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

:tpd:

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

Funny how one man's meat is another man's poison. I loved the Camacho Liberty 2009. My biggest disappointments are both popular smokes, and I've loved EPCs earlier work, but I have had rotten luck with both the LGC Artesanos de Miami and the new EP Carillo Edicion Inaugural.

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

Sorry to hear that! His cigars went from bad to worse in 09.:td

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

:r:r:r:r

Stop it. You lie.

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

now that I'm giving it some thought, I didn't have any cigars this year that were God awful or hideously overpriced.

biggest disappointment?

Cabaiguan

It was not a bad cigar at all and I smoked the whole thing. It was just sooo mild that I couldn't get enough flavor for my tastes, and I like mild cigars. :(

It didn't help matters that my expectations were sky high based on the universally positive feedback regarding this line.

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

:tpd: HATED that cigar.... tho I was kinda hoping I just got a bad one...

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

Ashton VSG I received them in trades or PIF's and they didn't live up to 1/2 the hype. Rather bland IMHO.

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

Try the Guapo as that is the best in their line next to the Guapo Maduro and all the others are :td IMHO.

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

Tabak Especial Dulce tasted like they were dipped in high fructose corn syrup.

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

I would have to go with the Cain 550 Habano. Truly a disappointment - strong and nothing much else.

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

I have to agree with this one as well, I smoked a lonsdale size one and it burned well and tasted good but not good enough to warrant the high price

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

I smoked a Macanudo 1968 that was the worst cigar of the year for me....I didn't pay for it but it was still a waste of money because it was a waste of my time! The only other memorable horrible smoke was the barber pole Cohiba Torps in the glass box. I took a puff off of one at one of Vin's cigarbeques...and then Ben (Stearns) nubbed the frigging thing.

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

I'd hafta say any nc Gloria Cubana that I tried. I gave them three strikes- now they're "OUT!"

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

The old blend or the new Pepin blend that came out late in 2009?

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

I have to go with the Liga privada T52...not much for an $11 stick...had 2 and really didn;t enjoy either.

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

Some Davidoff tubo....I think I paid around $15 for it. The most I've ever paid for a cigar that I can recall. It totally sucked.:td

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

La Traviata.

Diamond Crown.

Ashton VSG.

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

I have got my flak jacket and kevlar helmet on in preparation for this so go at it. I purchased several Taboo Cigars and was highly dissapointed after some hype here. Especially the LR Havana, thing fell part as I smoked it. No construction issues with others but no excitment in the taste either. Sorry but that is just my :2 worth on the smokes. Now as to the Company and folks that run it they are first class and service is excellent so nothing personal just not wild about the Taboo Cigars. As they always say though like what you smoke and smoke what you like - everybody likes something different. Also not a real high priced cigar either so no big $ let down.

Another major let down was the La Traviata, man there was no excitement there and they always get great reviews.

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

OMG... I am shocked to hear that... It was one of my favorite NCs for the year.

I think that would be my biggest disappointment as well for a regular production stick.

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

I think you mixing up LGC with the La Aroma De Cuba Edition Especials.

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

You may be mixing up the two LADC lines. The EE was always a Pepin blend IIRC while the new regular line is a Pepin blend as well.

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

Drac, Boris, Black Tubo, Cain, all of the new Gurkha's, Monte Open, any nc by Altadis and as always, Opus.

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

I thought I would be the first one to call out the Drac, Boris, and Black tubo but Chutney Lovebusciut beat me to it. After last years Frank release I had real high hopes for the Drac, then I found out that they would release an undressed version of the Frank so I figured oh boy! What a bunch of poo, and then to top it off he puts out a Black tubo that totally sucks, no flavor, won't stay lit, blah. Other than those I would agree with Cain, Cain F, Diamond Crown (all of them), Opus X (just this years batch), and even though it got good marks, I hated the Padron 45th maduro (I tossed it after 2").

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

I definately with you on that Dan!

....and "everything" made by Gurkha!

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

montecristo Vino series, 13 bucks of B&M yuck

Illusione something or another, sucked for the price

tatuaje anything




can anyone coment on the LFD El Museo? is it worth 27 bucks?

Re: The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009
 

I am big Litto ho but I don't think any cigar is worth $27 a pop.
