What cigar(s) and what quantity did you purchase and later tossed because they were so bad? I am talking you couldn't give them away because you would have felt too guilty.
Mine: 4 cigars of 5 pack: Maya Reserve Torpedo and Te-Amo Which are now serving as fertilizer for my plants in the back yard

Montague natural something or other. Bid on them to justify shipping costs on a small lot that I really wanted way back when. They have absolutely no flavor whatsoever. I understood quickly why I won at such a low bid. I keep them to give out to mooching friends.

Got some Island Collection flavored cigars and some Bucaneer Rum Runners or something like that (not to be confused with Bucaneros). Blech!

I bought a five-pack of Reyes & Benicio a while back, and after trying one and then another, just to make sure, I jettisoned the other three. Not bad flavor, just absolutely no flavor whatsoever. Mild would be garish overstatement. It was actually hard to tell if the cigar was lit, despite blowing out lots of smoke (kind of like the lights were on but no one was home :) ).

I got a dark shark in a sampler. Tossed it after 5 or 6 puffs. Threw most of a box of thomas hinds 'cause they were Full Of Beetles! Never again.

Riatta's.......it was like smoking burnt leather and horse.....how shall I say it?.....butt. I couldn't even bring myself to give them away. It's difficult to even think about the experience. I have to go brush my teeth.

Lots, most purchased right here. Dark Sharks, Diesels, Havana Sunrise Maria Mancini EMS. All part of the cost of learning what cigars I like.

Domestic Sancho Panza Valiente.The most vile cigar I have ever smoked,Mettalic,putrid almost indescribable flavor.I kept trying hoping it would turn around and smoked about an inch of it.Fuggit fine for throwing a burning object out of my truck or no fine I pitched the thing to the curb as I didn't even want it stinking up my trucks ashtray.Too bad too as I had heard nothing but good things about this brand and I really wanted to like them because of the price,but I got to tell ya it was more than a week before I got even partial function of my taste buds back.I still pick them up every now and again as bonus sticks in trades and such but I just can't bring myself to smoke one.

Montegue coronas and LaFontana Vintage Michaelangelos. Each distinctively awful. I needed humidor space anyway.

Black Stallion,Smoked better grape vines when I was a kid, Good thing about them is they are vaccum packed where they will stay terrible forever.

To those of you who don't like the Thomas Hinds or Hoja de Nicaragua's --- send em my way. I like most of these produces cigars.

Worst in my opinion is, without any doubt, the flavored Cuban Honey's (yecch) --- I would've put them out as fertilizer, but I was afraid they'd kill everything within a 50 foot radius.

Bacarrat Repeater.

I think they call them this because you take one puff (it sucks), you then take another puff (it still sucks), and so on utill you through it in the garbage disposal! It just keeps sucking!...octo

Tossed a box of Legion churchills @ 64 cents each after trying two...I kept a couple so I could test that decision later. Lit one a year later and tossed it after a few puffs. I've got to work on this plague of self-doubt.
