first, best, biggest!

Backwoods.

But what else are you going to smoke if you are a reenactor?

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.

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

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 :)

the Thomas Hinds I smoked tasted like someones dog had marked them as theirs. Incredibly bad cigars.

if you have any dog rockets you would like to get rid of please read the Dog Rockets Adoption Service thread :-)

I will have to keep Pirates Gold in mind for I like Puros Indios!

try a flor de todo same basic cigar as puros but cheaper. I LOVE these !!!!!

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.

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,

noobs....

.....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.

Pirate's Gold gave me white hair!

.....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.

.......very sad. I am sure he was a decent fellow.

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

+1 Tony sounds like he was a great guy!!



My yuck vote goes for PI's

Goes to show the sveeds hate côçk....

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.

Probably tastes like some weed I sold back in the day.

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.
