The biggest waste of money cigar for 2009 - Page 4

lightning9191 · 01-07-2010, 06:11 PM

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.

captain53 · 01-07-2010, 06:26 PM

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

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.

La Traviata.

Diamond Crown.

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

Mr.Goodfella · 01-07-2010, 07:29 PM

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").

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?

neoflex · 01-07-2010, 07:55 PM

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

quantim0 · 01-08-2010, 06:40 AM

Everything from my CAO sampler that I've tried so far. The only things I have left are an America (which I do like), Brazilia, and MX2. Everything else I've had from them is just blah, nothing to write home about and I certainly won't be buying any I've tried again.

tenbaseg · 01-08-2010, 06:52 AM

Alec Bradley tempus. Not a bad smoke, but just not what I expected for the price. I tried a few different sizes and they just didn't do it for me.

Anything Perdomo let me down this past year. Tastes like grass.

That was the First box i bought from a B&M. Loved every minute of them! Got them right before SCHIP hit and they sold me a box for a C-note... That's cheap considering at the time CI sold them for the same price!

Really. You might check your humidification, as grass is seldom an adjective used to describe Nicaraguan tobacco.

YES I agree!!! PERDOMO has totally gone downhill compared to how they used to be!

Doctorossi · 01-08-2010, 10:28 AM

All you folks hatin' on Opus can send your failed investments to me.

mithrilG60 · 01-08-2010, 11:30 AM

Opus X. Massively over-hyped, nothing more than a "meh" smoke with a great marketing machine.

01-08-2010, 12:18 PM

I am going to have to say the entirety of the Arturo Fuente lines...every year, I give the Opus a couple of chances...I remember them from 2001-2003 and absolutely LOVING them...now they suck more than Tiger Woods at keeping things secret...The Anejo still tastes like a charcoal briquet...and damned do I miss the good days of the Don Carlos line! The whole Chateau series puts me too sleep....I guess I do not like the Fuente stuff anymore...perhaps my taste buds have moved on...
