In your opinion, what is the worst tasting cigar?
-As a newbie and I have only tried a handful, I think its cuestra rey. I am currently deployed to Iraq, and thats pretty much all we got here. I got a 5 pack "Royal Sampeler" and was higly dissapointed but the price I payed here. 27.99. I probaly got ripped off! The best out of the 5 pack was I think its called Pyramid # 9 .... Well I wanted to smoke tonight around the fire at the fire station here, and The only one they had that I havent tried so far was, 8-9-8. So we will see..... I payed like 5.15 cents for it, so I give er a shot.

Sad to say, but there are worse. Bad Frogs, Lone Wolf, and just about anything that starts with a "Don" at the front of the name. Don Carlos being the notible exception.

If they have anything from Fuente, Carlos Torano, Rocky Patel - shoot there are a gazillion good cigars out there. I know you don't have the selection available to you there that you need or deserve. My boy is in Barstow getting ready to head over there. I sent a huge supply back with him after Christmas to share with his buddies.

Anyway, here's the deal on likes and dislikes - one man's trash is another man's treasure. It depends on your personal taste, how long you've been smoking, if you like mild, medium or strong cigars. From there you'll decide what kind of wrappers you like. And so forth.

That's the beauty of smoking cigars. So many to try, so much to talk about. Hang around these forums and read the reviews of the regulars. We have some great reviewers on board here.

In the meantime, stay low, get your @ss home and thank-you so much for your service!

Thomas Hinds, By far the worst cigar i ever had.

PS - Start buying some sample 5ers from CigarBid. You can try a lot for not a lot. Read the descriptions and reviews. If you get something you don't like, fire up a trade. The folks on these boards love our soldiers.

Cuesta Rey's are actually good cigars. Either they just don't fit your flavor profile or they haven't been well cared for. Sorry to hear that.

Have you been in touch with www.opfth.com ? Look up Smitty in the forums and shoot him an e-mail.

The Fighting ****, if you smoke this dogrocket first, you might not smoke a cigar again!

Fighting ****, Tamboril & Thomas Hinds ... ALL are better than my candidate for worst ever ...

Legion

a cigar I found to have the draw and taste profile of a 6" length of 3/4" galvanized pipe that had been
capped at both ends ... far and away, the worst cigar I ever had ... I'd have swapped 5 of these for a single one of the above named cigars, bad as they actually were.

Cumbres was another winner.

I with jack and SteveS, Thomas Hinds.

I think the green label was the worst

Perdomo Fresco.....HOLY CRAP that cigar tastes just like lawn clippings. Literally!

All Perdomos
All Puros Indios

nothing....NOTHING worse than a drew estate egg.


just to make absolutely sure you understand what i am saying, i'll say it again:

NOTHING worse than a drew estate egg.


and just for the record, i actually retyped that sentence instead of

...of copying & paste.




sorry for the goof...



nine

It was either the Dirt or the Root...

Cant remember exactly which one it was but I remember I'll never have one again...

Not the worst I ever smoked but the worst "premium" cigar for me was the CAO Cameroon. To me it was just bland.

The worst worst was a candela wrapped P.O.S that they kept over by the White Owls and Phillies. You know not even in the walk in, just up by the counter. I wanted to try a Candela so I figured wtf.

I got two:

Sinatra My Way
Graycliff G2

really didn't like these at all.

playboy... tasted like paint thinner.

Flavored cigars are on the very top of the list. Want a strawberry flavor? Smoke a strawberry.

Top "ack, ick, pfft"s that I've dared to try are Don Diego Playboy and National Brand.

Had to shave my tounge afterwards just to make the pain go away...

last stick I tossed very shortly after lighting was a Pryme Gold, other recent poor performers have included a Don Thomas Special Edition, Sosa Governer.
