Do you have a "Nemesis" Cigar?

[Pilgrims]

By this rather weird question what I really mean is...is there a cigar that you can't get your head around? Everytime you try it, it disappoints but then just as you smoke your last one it reels you back in...or every time you get a plugged smoke it is this particular cigar?

For me it is the Petit Edmundo (with no good reason as I know many people love'em), I often have one and swear never again (too raw, plugged, ugly) but can't leave it alone so I try another and love it...I think deep down this might have something to do with expectation as you'll most likely enjoy something when you expect very little...

[Puros Y Vino]

Absolutely. The Montecristo No 2. Of the five I've smoked only one has been good. The others were either too bland, burn & draw issues you name it. I will NEVER buy a box.

R y J Exhibicion No. 4

[Ophidion]

Any r&j except the short Churchill.

[CigarAsh]

Absolutely the Monte #2. It was the first Cuban cigar I ever smoked and one of the best. Every time I smoke another Monte 2 I'm looking for those elusive flavors and spices and I'm always disappointed. For a cigar that can be so fantastic, how can they also be so incredibly, frustratingly inconsistent and disappointing.

I have real bad luck with the bolivar coronas gigantes despite I like very much the taste of bolivar cigars... So please tell me it was only bad luck ?

[Ethernut]

Funny the votes for Monte #2, it's been hit or miss for me as well. I bought a box of '05 #2's (signed by El Prez) a few years back, that I've been waiting to crack. Hoping they'll be worth a crap..

[OZCUBAN]

It's called a Cuban ?

[OZCUBAN]

Just kidding , but in all seriousness they can all disappoint at times

Just like people☺

I would have to say any of the smaller Montecristos... #4, 5? When I have to buy a smaller smoke, especially at a Canadian shop to appease the owner, I have tried these and they are so hit and miss. I get them as gifts pretty often too.

I got some more nice HQ ones you can try, Frank....

[Scdalak]

Cohiba Rubusto AND Siglo VI.... They just dont work......

[Skitalets]

PSD4

[riazp]

Monte 4. So inconsistent.

[CaptainQuintero]

Cohiba.

I've never had a good one never mind great! The best I can say I've had is a great first half of a siglo IV, the second half being sour and grubby.

I just won't buy them anymore.

[maverickdrinker]

HdM. As much as I try to like this marca, I don't get much from them.

[Cohiba Stevie]

Monte 4.

They are all terrible

[cgarner]

x2 on Cohiba. I've never had one that made me want to buy another. Considering the premium price they command I would expect nothing less than good to great.

[Ethernut]

LOL! I've had a few that were as good as the best Cohiba you've ever had years ago.. Eventually I stopped buying them because of the inconsistency..

Monte 4.

They are all terrible

[IcedCanuck]

Montecristo No.4. I have smoked a few brilliant ones and a few dog rockets. Seems like they are very hit and miss but when they're on they are stunningly delicious.

[tmac77]

Any RyJ all vitola's

[Blackham]

El Principe for me

[ksblazer]

Romeo Y Julietas

Hoyo's

RASCC

The profile of these cigars have never done anything for me

[Habanos2000]

RASS...

I've never found one that would cause me to rave on about it like I've heard others do.

[Rushman]

The entire MC Open series. The word "why" comes to mind.
