Rate the worst

Dunkel · 10-20-2012, 03:50 PM

We've all seen the "what's the best" polls before, so I figured I'd post a what's the worst maker of handmade cigars. I mean ones that you've tried a few different ones and you wouldn't smoke one on a bet now.

It was going to be a tough decision until I saw Thompson's house blends.
Some of the others are bland and tasteless, but the house blends reek.

Looks like a dog rocket thread.

The worst cigar I ever smoked, by a longshot, was an original release Padilla Miami.

Wharf Rat · 10-20-2012, 04:30 PM

My worst was an Old Henry from Holts. I bought a 5er and they reeked of ammonia more than any other cigar I've ever had the displeasure of smoking. I know they have their fans and it was probably just a bad batch. But, the memory is so strong I will never touch them again. (I like many other DPG sticks)

I can agree with that!

PearlS4 · 10-20-2012, 04:44 PM

I had a pretty poor Nat Sherman, but that might not have been the cigars fault, could have been the conditions of storage. I have had a few of the TC house blends, yuck!

Starscream · 10-20-2012, 04:44 PM

Puros indios are terrible, but not much is worse than a Thompson house brand.

Hands down...a Lars Teten Gorilla Finger. Even the Cremosa tasted like a top notch stick compared to the finger.

If you have never had one you cannot imagine how bad these are.The smell gets on your hands and lingers,and it takes days to get the taste out of your mouth.I have seen people vomit from them...........

We have a winner..........
