Tamboril
Gurkha Regent
Fauxhiba at SHV


For those of you who weren't on CS back in 2005, Dave had a contest to see which cigar was worse, a Cremosa or a Tamboril. This was my entry after trying both cigars:

Those three stick out as the worst.

No Dave loved 'em....Can't remember which one he liked best though. (Ignore the red look on his face, he's just using the outdoor facilities....)

Isn't that a new Drew Estate product, an extension of their Acid line, called "Base"; *For when things can't get any worse*.

Nah, Jon only uses natural products for the infusions, so it would have to be more like a new CAO Flavor. Moontrance, CherryBomb, BellaVanillia, DrainOpener, Eileen's Dream...

Ah, good to know. So their LVHs are meant to taste like sh!t, but naturally.

Maroma.....gave the box away

*shrug*

The LVH line has never been an infused line, years ago, it used to be a long filler line with two blends: a medium bodied Cameroon wrapper (LVH) and a full-bodied Conn. broadleaf maduro (LVH Early Years). Then they disappeared for a year or year and a half, then came back as their current incarnation as mixed-filler cigars from scrap trimmings from other lines. One of the problems with mixed filler & short filler is that the bend can be inconsistent. Another thing about scrap trimmings is that the wrapper leaf has to be removed before the tobacco is used in mixed filler cigars because the wrapper will burn bitter inside the cigar. Someone could have messed up and you got a stick with a bunch of wrapper in the filler.

I know that they're not infused, but gawd, they were awful! I bought a box 'cause they were on sale for a stupid low price. I gave it the ol' college try, I smoked about 5 of 'em before I gave-up.

Something called "Equus." It sure wasn't a cigar by any measure except the shape.

Heh. I've done that before too.

Then there was that one night years ago I went cheap cigar hunting on cbid while drunk.

Big mistake. Ended up with a huge box, way too large to fit in the lockers at the post office (the clerk brought the box out to the counter on a freaking cart, and I was just standing there going WTF? This box must have been at least 2ft square, maybe closer to 3 in one dimension) full of crap cigars and 10 empty boxes showing up the next week that I didn't even remember ordering. Funny thing was, it only cost me less than $100 to fill that. So, that should give you an idea just how bad most of them were. Everything on CI's "Unsmokeables" page, yeah, I've tried them... and then some...

Creamosas aren't that bad compared to that Lars Gorilla Finger.

Equus is Latin for "horse" so...

Generally speaking, Unsmokable as a description doesn't inspire any confidence in the product.

Yup. Unfortunately, they didn't have that page back then to warn me.

Gee, I just bought half a dozen 5er's of Rosa Cubas and Oreo Cubanas for $1 each along with an entire box of Don Elias for $7, what could possibly go wrong?

What went wrong was they were delivered.

*puts on flame suit*

I am sure i will get a lot of $hit for this post. But I don't like anything from DPG.

[Mr. Ed]

Thompson's Iguana. A Candela (and very very green candela at that) wrapped cigar. Kind of tasted like a burning iguana.

I don't remember why I bought these. Must have been Thompson's spiffy catalog, plus I thought green cigars looked cool.
