OMG... I am shocked to hear that... It was one of my favorite NCs for the year.

I think that would be my biggest disappointment as well for a regular production stick.

Same here. Bigger joke than Nubs.

The #1 Cigar for 2009....
The 1964 Padron Family Reserve 45th Anniversario

Definitely not worth the $25.00.........

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.

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

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

Just shows you different strokes for different folks...probably my favorite new cigar (to me) of 2009

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 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.

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?

I think you mixing up LGC with the La Aroma De Cuba Edition Especials.

You may be mixing up the two LADC lines. The EE was always a Pepin blend IIRC while the new regular line is a Pepin blend as well.

Yeah I am mixed up....thanks for the correction! They both start with La.....after that I get confused...however, all the LADC blends are Pepin now, not just the EE.
