What DON'T you like?


Recommended Posts

So no whinging about gurkhas. What cigar do you genuinley not like the flavour of? Not talking about terrible construction or not stored correctly. I'm talking about a good cigar that was perfect, except the flavour you were getting just isn't you'r cup of tea.

For me it would be the deep earthy earthy flavour i got from a VR Famoso. Haven't had one since.

I've enjoyed every cuban i have had flavour wise, except for the Famoso. Thankfully i don't get the earthyness as dominant in any other cigars i've had. THe only NC i've enjoyed is the Short Stories and the God Of Fires, other than that i just don't like the flavours i've gotten from the ones i've tried.

I know this will put me in the minority but I can't get down with the JL #2. The one's I've tried have been spot on contruction wise and smoked like a dream. I just don't enjoy the flavor profile, though.

I would be remiss if I didn't also mention Acid cigars. They are absolutely digusting.

Pretty much anything Partagas - yes, even the SdC series and P1. Heresy, I know, but what can I do. Out of my rather substantial stash, there are exactly 13 Partagas cigars (D4).

1. The Trinidads. Every one I've tried just didn't "do it" for me. The only exception was the Fundadores that were released around 1997 and had the old gold and black band

2. Juan Lopez and Rafael Gonzales. I've smoke these several times and - just no real flavor I can detect.

3. About 99.9% of long and skinnies. I've had the discontinued La Escepcion Longos sleeping.gifno.gif , Partagas Serie du Connaisseur No. 3,

*sigh* just 'cuz I'd heard so much glowing reports of this from FOH members. And truly, no complaints about giving these a try. These are just not my cup of coffee.gif

I do not purchase:

montes (would consider especial and 2)

r&j

bolivar (though did split a box of bbf once and german lanceros are excellent)

punch

pl (i do have some mc though)

cuaba

quintero

sancho

I've been gifted these by generous friends over the years and now they know otherwise I decline to smoke them and go with something else instead.

In fairness, I've had one each of these, so they

deserve another try, but there are just too many

others to get to revert back.

Cuaba Exclusivo- one dimensional, and boring

Sancho Panza Belicoso - all over the place. Sancho was dancing with a bunch of flavors, but like a "sancho," he couldn't commit to one.

(anyone get that humor?)

HDM petite robusto - this will sound silly, but it

was too sweet. I LOVE the sweetness in cigars

and HDM is probably my favorite brand, but these

Little guys were like having 20 strands of licorice.

At first your like, "hell yeah, 20 strands of licorice!"

Fifteen minutes later... "man, maybe that was too much licorice!"

Haven't had a CC profile that I truly didn't like yet. But I don't see myself buying Cuaba, SP, and the other smaller marcas.

On the NC world, for some reason I can't smoke most of the tatuajes. That dark thick oily wrapper they use just has a weird taste that I don't like. Also don't enjoy padrons, they're just bitter to me, even the higher end ones.
