Default Rate the worst

We've all seen the "what's the best" polls before, so I figured I'd post a what's the worst maker of handmade cigars. I mean ones that you've tried a few different ones and you wouldn't smoke one on a bet now.

It was going to be a tough decision until I saw Thompson's house blends.
Some of the others are bland and tasteless, but the house blends reek.

The worst cigar I ever smoked, by a longshot, was an original release Padilla Miami.

Default Re: Rate the worst

My worst was an Old Henry from Holts. I bought a 5er and they reeked of ammonia more than any other cigar I've ever had the displeasure of smoking. I know they have their fans and it was probably just a bad batch. But, the memory is so strong I will never touch them again. (I like many other DPG sticks)

I had a pretty poor Nat Sherman, but that might not have been the cigars fault, could have been the conditions of storage. I have had a few of the TC house blends, yuck!

Puros indios are terrible, but not much is worse than a Thompson house brand.

Hands down...a Lars Teten Gorilla Finger. Even the Cremosa tasted like a top notch stick compared to the finger.

Hands down the worst cigar (with the most accurate name ever) is the Acid (Red Line) Nasty.

I tossed a highly rated Liga Privda but it wasn't the worst I've had. I just don't remember the worst. A Gurkha Ancient Warrior was flavorless but that's not the worst a cigar can be. The fishy, sour milk of a Tamboril is pretty bad.
