canadianbeaver Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 I save words like "can't stand" for relatives and clothes that itch. But for cigars I use "does nothing for me". Most of the RyJ's, German RE's. Lately I have stopped buying more readily available marca/vitolas and trying to find rarer ones. We figure we can only smoke so many cigars in a lifetime, so make them great ones.
Dara Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 I find it harder to buy Cohibas given the premium price they command over other brands. I just don't feel like their cigars are 20-30% better than a comparable vitola from another of the major brands.
ramon_cojones Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 I absolutely will not smoke cuaba and almost every modern r&j and punch has been a disappointment so I usually turn those down. I never smoked a monte or bolivar and thought damn this is good!!! I can stand them though.
lovesmallrg Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 I haven't had enough to say about which I don't like, and we all do have a different pallete. It is interesting to note that out of 58 repies there is only one that is anti-monte, so far anyhow. I'll have to put some on my short list to try.
Stogieninja Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 Fonseca is the only marca I haven't liked. It was one dimensional and flat. But I've only had one, and it wasn't terrible, so I don't know that I could say I "can't stand it."
MarkofStark Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 RyJ.... Far too many vitolas in the marca and too many of them are utter crap. This is mine 2, I've tried several sticks twice incase I had a bad batch, just not a fan.
MC4 Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 Haven't tried all the different brands, but a few Fonsecas I've had were terrible.
IcedCanuck Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 I think I have found a vitola in just about every marca that I have enjoyed. The only exceptions to that would be Jose Piedro and the two we're not supposed to mention
Cisco Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 I am addicted to seeking new flavours (which is why I haven't given up on NC cigars as well). However, my limited experience with RyJs has left me pitching the cigars much earlier than usual. There is something that I just don't like about them flavour wise.
dtrott Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Probably in the minority here but I never had a RYJ that made me want another.Tried the Exb.No 4,Wide Church,Short Church and Mille Fleurs.....all were OK but not worthy of a future purchase.
Mr.T Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 I'd have to say Cuaba Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
sactochris Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 The only brand I really don't care for is Vegas Robaina
Zaphod42 Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 I have not had an H Upmann that did anything for me. I wouldn't say I can't stand them, but I don't plan on spending my money on them anytime soon.
lovesmallrg Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 well, I'm stil trying cc's along. This thread made me interested enough to try some Montecristos.
