sticks you do not like

im just wondering. when you lit up a stick and you realise you do not like it after lets sat 1/3 'o it. do you guys keep smoking it?

LeoM · 10-06-2009, 01:58 PM

Not a chance...well unless I have it on good authority that it gets much better.....and even then most likely, no.

In my mind, there's a difference between "not that great" and "ick." Not that great smokes get finished, Generally I'm thinking of the one I'll follow it up with to make things right in my world again. Las week I tossed out a smoke after about 5 minutes. I think it was the first time EVER I've done that, and I went and lit up one that I KNEW would make up for it.

Truer words have never been spoken.

I chucked one the other day after two draws because the draw was bad and it didn;t taste good enough to fight for it.

Smoked an El Mejor Emerald last week. Got about 1/4th of the way through and put it down.

The Emeralds are one of my go-to smokes. The Espressos suck, though.

Depends on how much I don't like it. If I am trying a new stick, I'll give it the good ol college try. But if it's just too horrible for me to go on, I'll chuck it. If it's a stick I am familiar with and it is bad, I'll fight through cause I know it will get better.

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.

yeah you guys are prolly right but i feel like I have a duty to it....

maybe im too patriotic

the one im talking atm is your famous MoW Brad

Depends on cost. A $3 smoke that is not good gets tossed, a $15 stick gets more time.

yourchoice · 10-06-2009, 02:35 PM

Off hand I can only think of one smoke that I chucked after only smoking a third or less of it. It was putrid. It was a Gurkha...I believe it was called Gurkha Vintage (had a second, green wrapper). I don't think they make them anymore...for obvious reasons.

I will usually give a cigar a fair shake, probably 1/2 of it at least.

If I light another cigar that was as bad as the one I chucked before, I wouldn't hesitate to get rid of it.

This thread just goes to show that one man's favorite stick is another man's cut/light/toss stick.

I'm too poor - or cheap - to chuck a stick I merely do not like. However, if it is unsmokable, either due to taste or draw issues, I will not give it a thought or a chance. As said above, life's too short.

Chuck it.
