I did once buy what I thought was a box but have it (to my surprise) turn out to be a tubo... Not good times in the land of cheap tequila and cheaper escorts.

Anything in the description that starts with:

"During the cigar boom this baby was one of the best .... often sold for $100's per box ..... and now we're making them available for a limited time at just $12."

You know the drill. That's a sure fire way to make this list. My worst was a Bacchus Lonsdale and yes the ad started out that way. Open mouth, enter big gigantic hook.

I haven't had a bad experience with a box , although I have bought many 5-paks from CI and the absolutly disgusting worst was a "Lars Tetens " knock-off aromatic cigars. These cigars are horrid ! and you wouldn't believe the way they look unwrapped, what garbage !

Call me lucky. None. If I don't like them then someone I know does, so it all comes out in the wash.

A neighbor of mine stopped me and wanted to know how to "store" a cigar until he wanted to smoke it!!!! I figured he must be talking about an ISOM or Padron or CAO or something like that! Well, turns out he had been given a Lone Wolf Torpedo by one of his associates........NOW WHAT TO SAY??? OMG!!!! Well, I was honest and told him "the trash can was a suitable storage container or maybe just throw it in his golf bag for a couple of months"! He was not a cigar smoker and we both broke out laughing about the Lone Wolf as I told him the "history" of the little Jim and Chuck bombs!

God, I am so glad I could be honest about it as he asked another neighbor (cigar smoker) and got pretty much the same response!

I've got a box of Bohios in my cabinet. Worst dog rockets I've ever tried to smoke. Kinda tastes like wet grass (the lawn kind) smells. I keep them around for the guys who like to smoke but never like to buy their own.

Original Oynx line..churchill size. What a box of crap those were. Tightest draw I've ever encountered, almost collapsed a lung smoking one. Hard to believe since the reserve line is so tasty.

Sinatras

Canario d Oro Inmensos

I put almost a year of humi-time into these with no luck; you take a dog rocket and put it away for a while and all you have is an older dog rocket...

Tamayo Y Pareto churchill maduros. Same color as purple cabbage. A decent cigar may get better over time. A bad cigar takes up valuable space.

Double Happiness, Thomas Hinds anything, Lone Wolf and Maya Palmas, ugh. After those fatal mistakes, I stopped believing the PR those nice folks at CB dished out and trusted my own cigar knowledge.

montague, very dry.

tarheel4lyf , I think I dated her too!!!

OOPS!

I don't buy too many boxes, and I LIKE the Lone Wolf Churchills...

Had a Bad Cohiba Lancero, but won't badmouth a whole line off one smoke...

Didn't like the Lars Tetons I have tried... which is weird considering I LOVE Acids, and the like from Drew.
