Not trying to come off a snob, but I only smoke Cremosas from the 20th century.

Yes, send it over. I think I can find something here for you.

ah yes the worst cigar I ever had the displeasure of almost vomiting up later. Now I'll be honest I stumbled upon this intensely rare find at a smoker friendly. After months of black and mild wine and those fine fine white owls which I loved oh so much (note to self find a time machine go back in time and punch self in the nards for ever smoking those vile things) I decided I would approach the mighty cabinet humidor they kept in the back near the Redman and so called pound bags of menthol pipe tobacco. After picking through three or for boxes of Drew Estate's acid line and deciding 10 bucks was too much for a 2 inch cigar, and 15 was too much for something black named after Shakespeare's masterpiece I found it. A real man's cigar the All American Churchil Maduro. Yes I said it, I smoked a brand called All American, had a tiny eagle on his band and everything. To say that I was horrified by the taste would be false. I thought I was big bad stuff with a 7 inch piece of dog dirt. I smoked one a little later, and after waking up from the coma and my months of therapy I am ready to talk about it. Consider something so vile, so evil that it actually makes being impaled on a telephone pole look like a good alternative. It tasted like stale air mixed with that oh so lovely rotting fish dumpster outside of your favorite long john silvers. the scent of the smoke was something akin to what happens when you introduce a yeti to a skunk, smear him with rancid milk and set him ablaze. Never smoke this abomination, ever.

this post is dedicated to whatever other fool victims this dog rocket has claimed, as I have been back to SF and these monstosities are all gone.

Some unlabeled dog rocket at New Havana smoke shop, Franklin TN. Some guy sold me 2 dogrockets which he said "GREAT" for $6 a smoke. I probably smoked half an inch of the cigar before chucking it out the window. AWFUL, never going back to that B&M again.

I should have known better when he said we're closed but I'll sell you 2 for $12 tax free.

I officially had my WORST cigar today. Ordered a box off of Famous. Decent reviews online, very reasonable price...paid about 45 for a box of 20.

Carinos Maduro Churchill.

Should have known it was gonna be weird when I cut it and the wrapper and the filler were VERY different colors. Definitely a dyed maduro. Very bitter upon lighting, and NEVER EVER EVER got better. I kept hoping, kept giving it the benefit of the doubt. BLEH. Actually lit up the nub of a cigar I had smoked earlier that day to get the taste out of my mouth.

Learned my lesson. You get what you pay for. Dang it. I hate learning that lesson.

The 3000s are pretty decent for yard smokes...

Romeo Y Julieta Reserva Real was my first and I did not like it. Barely better than a cigarette, which I hate. I talked to the guy who runs the humidor and he knows my taste in beer so he recommended The Edge Maduro, which I enjoyed, but wanted even more. So, I've had a pretty expensive taste from the get go. I always want more flavor. CAO America was pretty bad too. Tried that for the 4th of July.

Bunker · 09-27-2010, 07:23 PM

Carlos Torana Casa Torano, the first cigar in years that I gave up on after only an inch or so. I would rather smoke an Optimo Palma.

Really?? Was it the maduro version? If so, just goes to show the different tastes. Because I LOVE those!! Never had the natural.

It was the natural (CT?), maybe I just got a bad one but it has turned me off from Torano.

Bill86 · 09-27-2010, 07:35 PM

Sorry to hear the reserva real wasn't good, sure it wasn't a dud? LOVE that cigar.

Would also like to add

for now
Graycliff G2
Tat - Red Tubo

I think they were duds....only time will tell.

x2 on the Graycliff G2..will also add the Graycliff Espresso PG. Although, I've heard the double espresso is much better

Tierra del Sol, Gurka Serpia any of the Macanudo

09-28-2010, 12:03 AM

My worst was a CAO America, tried it twice, and made it halfway twice vomiting afterwords twice

Needless to say, I was hesitant to try the La Traviata, but glad I did, made up for wasting money on a dog rocket that costs more than some of my favorites
