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 like em OK when I get them on a deal.

Puros Indios, Ronaldo Reyes and it isn't even close.

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.

kelmac07 · 10-20-2012, 05:17 PM

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

I can agree with that!

icehog3 · 10-20-2012, 05:38 PM

Cremosa Cubana.
Tamboril.
Gurkha Viper.

pektel · 10-20-2012, 05:51 PM

Never bought from thompsons. Still somehow made their damn mailing list for catalogs though.

Brlesq · 10-20-2012, 06:31 PM

Hands down the worst cigar (with the most accurate name ever) is the Acid (Red Line) Nasty.

Kevin(n)tn · 10-20-2012, 06:56 PM

Blue label B2 and Torano 1916.

timj219 · 10-20-2012, 07:05 PM

Gurkha doble maduro

I tossed a highly rated Liga Privda but it wasn't the worst I've had. I just don't remember the worst. A Gurkha Ancient Warrior was flavorless but that's not the worst a cigar can be. The fishy, sour milk of a Tamboril is pretty bad.
