I'm not rolling in piles of cash either, but I think its good to at least try everything once, better to regret smoking something than to regret not smoking something.

Gene Arganese got a lot of my money in 2009!!!

OK, then send me one of everything, and I'll send you back

Oh yeah sure, I'll purchase you some of these as soon as I stop lighting my cigars with new, crisp 50 dollar bills.

Funny how one man's meat is another man's poison. I loved the Camacho Liberty 2009. My biggest disappointments are both popular smokes, and I've loved EPCs earlier work, but I have had rotten luck with both the LGC Artesanos de Miami and the new EP Carillo Edicion Inaugural.

Stop it. You lie.

JJG · 01-07-2010, 04:35 PM

now that I'm giving it some thought, I didn't have any cigars this year that were God awful or hideously overpriced.

biggest disappointment?

Cabaiguan

It was not a bad cigar at all and I smoked the whole thing. It was just sooo mild that I couldn't get enough flavor for my tastes, and I like mild cigars.

It didn't help matters that my expectations were sky high based on the universally positive feedback regarding this line.

HATED that cigar.... tho I was kinda hoping I just got a bad one...

Ashton VSG I received them in trades or PIF's and they didn't live up to 1/2 the hype. Rather bland IMHO.

Try the Guapo as that is the best in their line next to the Guapo Maduro and all the others are

IMHO.

Tabak Especial Dulce tasted like they were dipped in high fructose corn syrup.

RevSmoke · 01-07-2010, 05:09 PM

I would have to go with the Cain 550 Habano. Truly a disappointment - strong and nothing much else.

I have to agree with this one as well, I smoked a lonsdale size one and it burned well and tasted good but not good enough to warrant the high price

gnukfu · 01-07-2010, 05:15 PM

I smoked a Macanudo 1968 that was the worst cigar of the year for me....I didn't pay for it but it was still a waste of money because it was a waste of my time! The only other memorable horrible smoke was the barber pole Cohiba Torps in the glass box. I took a puff off of one at one of Vin's cigarbeques...and then Ben (Stearns) nubbed the frigging thing.

hotreds · 01-07-2010, 05:18 PM

I'd hafta say any nc Gloria Cubana that I tried. I gave them three strikes- now they're "OUT!"

The old blend or the new Pepin blend that came out late in 2009?

rlmedic · 01-07-2010, 05:33 PM

I have to go with the Liga privada T52...not much for an $11 stick...had 2 and really didn;t enjoy either.

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.
