LGC Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 On one occasion, I tossed a mid 90's Monte A and a Partagas 155 Anniversary Salamones. Both cigars were plugged, and I smoked only a couple inches of both of them. The waitress looked at me like I was on crack when she asked if she could empty the ashtray. There was a small ashtray sitting there with 2 big phucking cigars that were a waste. This is why I tell people never to depend on on cigar to make an occasion... no matter if it was stored in an air-tight container for 30 years, or you paid 150 bucks for the cigar. Always have a handful of choices if planning for a "special" occasion.
tdlfoto Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Siglo VI that was shitty tasting and had a very tight draw. Smoked just over an inch, cut it in half and tried again, cursed profusely, chucked it.
nikesupremedunk Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 I think I wasted about 8 cigars total when I had a overhumidification problem. 2 Robo T's, a Sig VI, a BGM, Sig II's, BPC's, etc. It was the most frustrating thing...you have to puff on it real hard only to get a pinch of smoke... Why didn't you try cutting the Monte A to see if that solves it? I mean you have plenty of room to cut
Jnaube Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Cuaba 2000 from the jar. Paid 107 bucks for it ( it's expensive in quebec). Smoked half of it.
ramon_cojones Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 **** man I've tossed so many life is too short I just cut my losses and light up another I don't sit there for an hour trying to smoke it. These include a psp1, an ap pl robusto, sig vi, ra grande de espana (that one really hurt) but fortunately nothing too baller. That's why I love me rass and d4s, they're cheap enough to replace when this happens and your wallet doesn't feel bad.
rp99pts Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Behike 56 that tasted like crap.. What a waste of $41
tmac77 Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 had to toss a few Sir winnies over the last little while. all from the same box. plugged to the point of being unsmokable.
brutusthebuckeye Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 had to toss a few Sir winnies over the last little while. all from the same box. plugged to the point of being unsmokable.

The worst thing is when you did not bring a lot of extras if you're away from home. Now I make sure to have plenty and usually bring a couple back unless some are plugged or not tasting good, or I unexpectedly gift some. I've had quite a few bad tasting behikes...what a waste, although after a year they are much much better..but still I could have bought a lot of good regular smokes with that money. Also a monte A outside at Starbucks (back in the day when everyone was drinking tha coffee) that I had no where near the time to smoke, had to ditch 3/4 of that and get back to work.

ramon_cojones Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 I think chanceshmer's experience last night with a plugged 1966 is further proof that you can't rely on expensive cigars, poor guy at least he had a backup and a good time which is all that mattered. Don't get the 66 hype train at all.
canadianbeaver Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Great thread and a true example of going with the flow for FOH. Part of the cost of doing business as far as I am concerned when dealing with an incredible, handmade item and highest standards. Matthew and I will use a wooden poking stick to try and unplug a dud but if that does not work we move on.
GTS21 Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Dunhill Estupendo Quintero Churchill Davidoff Dom Perignon P150 1492 Etc...i hate a tight drawing cigar
winelover Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Partagas pirimade LE2000 - fantastic first half of a cigar but an emergency came up and I had to abandon it.
maverickdrinker Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 1966, BHK 52, punch ninfa, monte A to name a few.
ramon_cojones Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 ^if you think that feels bad just wait until you've tossed expensive cigars
LGC Posted August 5, 2012 Author Posted August 5, 2012 Forgot about a Dunhill Estupendo... has to be the worst plugged cigar for me. When a stick costs 3 figures, it really sucks.
cigcars Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 A fat DC size Por Larranaga UK Regional that after one third smoked was obviously never going to be better than empty air. A big cigar that I take it was greatly underfilled
