Ok lets get some input.... whats the WORST BID you were ever sorry about?? Mine was Free Cuba's
I probably would have done better picking up one of my dogs "LAWN SAUSAGES" and smokin that! at least the box had a bare breasted beauty on it!

I thought the Free Cuba was a decent smoke. Of course, living in California the Free Cuba price was less than what I usually pay in sales tax for a decent stick here.

It would have to be that bundle of Tamboril Toril Cordova's from about a year ago. Out of three friends I told could have the bundle if they liked them only one would take it.

acid "C" notes. They came with an order and all of the cigars smelled and tasted like them. It ruined about an $80.00 order. I never did bring myself to smoke them. I gave some away, and the others went into my DogRocket Hall of Shame.

Thomas Hinds Vintage, I'm still trying to give them away. I guess I was young and foolish, but this didn't feel good or taste good!

Actually, I was lucky. A friend who helped me with a new section of sidewalk came by last night and I was able to pawn off the rest of the box of Thomas Hind-quarters on him. Woo hooo!

When I first started on this board I got myself one of those flavored cigar packs from Victor Sinclair. Mint flavored cigars? What the heck was I thinking. I still have some left. Can't decide to throw them or not. My firends don't smoke cigars so I can't push them their way.

I thought it would be cool to try assorted dollar brands. It seemed like a good idea. I have tried Thomas Hinds, Cuban Knockoffs, and Cabana Royales so far. I haven't cared for any of them. Might have been bad strategy! I better smoke some good ones before I go on and try the Diesel Crudes and the Tamborils!

With the knowledge that CB is littered with opportunties for bad decisions, the worst so far is a 25 box of Legions for $16...gee, why can't I stop thinking about that...

I won a 5-pack of Te-Amos for 3 or 4 bucks. Tried one and pitched the rest.

I just had my mind made up for me. Just smoked a Carbonell from the 5 pack I won a while ago. My mouth tastes like I smoked a swizzle stick...

Worst bid I ever did ... was accidently bid on 3 boxes of R&J Churchill at $70+, when I only wanted one.

Customer Service was kind enough to fix it for me though, after hearing my 'sob story', so I ended up with only one.

Can you say Ancla Y Cazador?
The cigar sucks but those damn big tubos they came in may have been worth the price.
