I also vote the Lone Wolf as the worst ...
- the Sportsman's Reserve is (IMHO) an excellent everyday smoke ... but the key to that is aging them for about 3 months in a tightly controlled environment ... I've got many now with plume on them and it seems to me that the more you age them - the spicier they get ... could be my taste buds are just getting accustomed to my wallet though .. LOL
I'm going to be putting some 'hard to get' sticks in for aging shortly ... I'll send a few out to get some inputs from them - but so far the Monte #2's seem to be TOP with the 898's running a close second.

Have you ever tried a Thomas Hinds Vintage? Though Lone Wolfs are not good the Hinds vintage collection (yes this maybe hard to believe )is far worse.
Try Andy Warhol ,Bad Frogs,and Predator for simlar sickening experiences.

A couple of years ago I bought a bundle of Hugo Cassar Mexican robustos.... One never finished smoke later and I gave the whole bundle to another guy at work. He said that he enjoyed them... but then again he usually only buys Swishers... LOL!

I have been trying to decide which is more horrible, the Andy warhol or the Maya reserve torpedo. Either way, after attempting to finish one of each they became fertilizer in my back yard

i gotta say, it cracks me up to look around at some well-known cigar vendors (online, catalog) who really pitch some of these cigars like they were the best thing since cubans. lol
reading one while sitting on "the throne," awhile back i remember thinking, "wow, these lone wolf cigars must really be something great!" DOH!
i've never had one (and this is not an attempt to get any, btw!), and at the time all cigars looked about equal to me -- what did i know? -- so it just seemed like with THAT much attention focused on them, they were some kind of rare bird!

Cigars International gives a glowing description of Havana Royale. I bought a fiver on CBid and almost choked on the first one. I have since pawned the other four off on an unsuspecting son-in-law who thinks they are great.
Second nomination goes to Montague (any size).
Third nomination goes to Blender's Gold
All three of these are yard trash. :)

I think i have been blessed to not have a "worst CBid cigar" All the bad ones i have had were unbanded ones made in little cigar shops. The worse i have had from here i would probably have to say the Montague which only tastes like cardboard with a hint of tobaccoo to me. In fact i think its the only cigar where i can honestly say that "I have detected a hint of *insert flavor here*" of :)

Beyond those already mentioned, one of the worst I have had is the new Fighting ****! I have several boxes of the old original Fighting **** that went out with the boom. They were pretty good cigars and with age are even better. Being a Gamecock fan, I smoke them during **** sporting events, such as tailgating. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw Cbid stocking the new Fighting ****. I bought 7 boxes before even tasting. Sad to say they are terrible. Unfortunately, it is a tradition I can't break and I will have to endure at least one on Saturdays!

Dudes and dudettes, Go to www.astogie4u.com and try the 7 year aged Robusto. It is the best cigar I have ever smoked, including many cubans. It is a bit pricey at $13.95 a pop, but OMG are they delicious. This joint is in San Fran where my ship visited in October. Call them and tell them you are military and you get a 10% discount.

Thanks cockyhoskins for the heads-up on the "new" FC! Yes, the original Phillipine version, although not for everyone, was OK. Name stays the same, beware...

This is a useful thread. Wish I'd seen it before I bid on a fiver of Ras Tafari. It'll be here next week. Guess I'll bury it in the coolerdor. And I've got a Thomas Hinds that came in a gift. Now I'm afraid of it.

SKS, don't write off those Ras Tafaris until you smoke at least one., They're not going to make you swear off of Exodus Golds, but they are one of my go-to daily gars! Others that I fit in that category are Puros Indios, Morro Castles, and Free Cubas. Not the greatest, but goodn yard/fishing gars!

MACS(SW),
not to dis that website, but it looks really bad. Cheap cigar lighters that you can get for less than 7.00 each they want 50.00!!! If you say the cigars are good i may try one but the prices are out of this world. ALso they say
""Italian binder............
70% of all the tobacco grown in Italy is used for the making of Cuban cigars.""
I wouldn’t count on that, Cuban cigars are unique for two main reasons. First the tobacco itself is unlike anything grown anyplace else.
Second, Cuban cigars have never been blended: they only contain Cuban tobacco.
Cuba has several growing regions with different soil, minerals and water that produce leafs with different characteristics. Cuban cigars might contain tobacco blended from many of these regions, but they won’t contain tobacco grown outside Cuba.
GIG'EM,
Dan

.....of the 450 or so Cigar Bid lines I have sampled this year, only two were 'UNSMOKEABLE'. Either had HORRIBLE construction which lead to an awful draw, or rapper flaking, and other stuff like that were,
HESITANT PIRATE
&
DON ELIAS
......their are a few 'shady looking' lines I have not tried and probably never will like RAJIS UMTIMELY DEMISE, DARK SHARK, & HAVANA CLASSICO.
....all the rest were smokeable and would be just a matter of the smokers preferences.

.....after you let them air out for a few weeks they are a mild Connecticut cigar. If you like flavor you will not like them. If you like mild cigars, they are a good option to smoke in between your Angelenos 2010 and San Cristobal Elegancia's.

As much as I would really like Tony to reply to your post. He isn't going to. He passed away after a traffic accident. He lost his wife (at impact) and he was in critical for quite some time. Tony was an amazing brother that helped propel the giving you see here on these boards.
RIP Tony.

This is 2012. You said you smoked 450 cigar lines THIS year. That would mean since 1/1/2012. What you meant to say was that you smoked 450 cigar lines in the PAST year (since January '11.) Got it?

Operation From The Heart was born from him.
He was a very generous BOTL and it was my pleasure to have known him. Our conversations through email were something that I'll always remember fondly about this site. His death had this site mourning. Others took his dream and ran with it BIGTIME!
This is a very special plcae on the interwebs.
Oh, sure we joke and kid and the jackassery runs rampant but we celebrate births, weddings, mourn family/pets passing, help out when natural disasters hit and just about everything inbetween.

I did couple of trades with Cavallo. It's always chilling to see his posts getting topped.
Pretty cool to see SteveR's posts too, although I get to read his antics elsewhere
BTW, my vote is for Thomas Hinds. What a piece of sh#t they were, all three of them

Worst tasting-------Blue Label Series B. Terrible taste and horrible construction
Best cigar with bad flaw------Gran Habano 2002. Bought a box from CBID and the Sticks were all so tightly banded that they had a quarter inch indent the shape of the band. Barely serviceable as they eventually developed major wrapper issues.

LFMFAO. I thought I was the only sucker who'd ever bought those sub-dogrocket turds. They were indeed horrific. The "tobacco" was weirdly discolored, looked like moldy, dried maple leaves and the taste was unmentionable. These are what I would imagine POW's in Japanese slave labor camps in WWII would be reduced to smoking. George Hamilton should be forced to smoke whatever supply of them remains.

I got a fiver of a cigar called Bermudez on here many years ago. They weren't even wrapped in cellophane. It was straight up plastic. They tasted like a turd dipped in turpentine.

I've never even heard of most of these blends and I thought I sampled just about everything. As far as a well known cigar maker the WORST stogie I can recall where ALL 5 were horrible was the CARLOS TORANO NOVENTA MADURO TORPEDO (6.5" x 54). Horrible draw on all, horrible one sided burn down to half way through on all, and totally NO FLAVOR whatsoever. It was HORRIBLE.
It surpassed the original WORST blend I smoked from which was the PLEIADES 'CRUZEROS' CONNECTICUT ALDEBRAN (8.5" x 50) way back when. Was labeled 'Cruzeros" but was supposed to be Pleiades of France. It tasted like rotting, moldy, damp tobacco.
As far as CURRENT GARBAGE offered here that I have wasted $ on are Gran Habano Vintage 2006, Rocky Patel Cargo, Puros Indios Viejo, and Gurkha Park Avenue Habano. All offer generic crappy flavor.

.
You know the stick is a piece of dog schitt when the desc writeup starts with something along the lines of,
"Look, this cigar ain't gonna win any awards anytime soon, and it ain't high tea at the Ritz, BUT..."
followed by words like
"knockaround", "serviceable", "everyday"
, etc.
Translation to English:
"This is garbage."
"
