El Presidente Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 What was your most recent crap cigar? The one you struggled with or turfed. I had a shocker of a Partagas Short this morning. A go to cigar for me and hell, 1 out of plenty I can live with. Bitter, kept going out, turfed it at the half way mark along with a string of expletives.
NJP Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Plus one on the shorts. I've just started swaps between the dress boxes and Cabs.
Heath Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 It was a Quintero londres ex. a week ago ditched about half way in wonky burn and taste not good enough to struggle through. The sub zero temps probably didn't help and super cold dry wind. I try again when the grass is green
stunod Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Believe it or not a Montecristo Double Edmundo. Tasted like dirt.. no joke .. frinkin dirt. I cut my losses after about 10 minutes.
polarbear Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 VR Unico the weekend before last I don't like tossing crap cigars but this one was a serious struggle to finish Got just passed the final third before putting it down
Lotusguy Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 By far an Alec Bradley Texas Lancero - I still have nightmares about the horrid taste and worst tunnel burn in known history. CC would be the latest RG Perla, which, like all of them I've had, was bitter, harsh, and metallic.
JohnS Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Monte 2 believe it or not, about a month ago. I just couldn't draw enough volume of smoke from it. Not plugged though, perhaps a little under-filled.
Brah Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Partagas D4. It has a couple years of age on it too but it was a total dog rocket. 1
SUMAIL Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 For me it was a Partagas E.2. about two weeks ago. I love the size but hate the in the inconsistency in flavour about 4 out 20 have been decent.
saintsmokealot Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Few weeks ago I went to a local B&M and purchased a Padron 85 maduro to pay homage for smoking what I brought. I smoked it a couple days later and lets just say I was less than impressed(even though I smoked most of it). For the cost of the stick I would have preferred a BCJ. I far from a NC basher I actually really liked these once upon a time but this stick was full bodied and one dimensional but the worst part yet it was a total wind tunnel. 2
fabes Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Ramon Allones Caprichos. I know they are still new, but there was nothing enjoyable. Paper might have smoked better. 1
CaptainQuintero Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 I've been on a great run recently, the last terrible stick was a Quintero Favorito on a freezing night when I had to walk (and rush) to get somewhere. Totally my fault; started off lovely but quickly over heated and went completely to pot. Made a resolution to not smoke and walk at the same time ever again if I can help it. Should have made the commitment a long time ago!
smokinjaycutler Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Earlier in the week I had a Curivari Reserva Limitada 2000 that was horrible. Extremely bitter and tasted like wet cardboard. After smoking the first third I dissected it and sure enough there was a huge stem in the filler. The rest of the box has been solid.
Optic101 Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Montecristo Petit Edmundo. Half way though the box and all of them have been stunning. The last one, some weeks back, started bitter and didn't change. Ditched it half way.
Smallclub Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 SLR Regios from FEB 14. Seems like the box has entered a "dull" period…
Cisco Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Monte Petit no 2, an under filled wind tunnel mess. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
PuroDan Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 RG perla. Big let down from the one I had 6 months ago.

I far from a NC basher I actually really liked these once upon a time but this stick was full bodied and one dimensional but the worst part yet it was a total wind tunnel. I often find that the Boli CJ outperforms most expensive NC's IMHO. Although I smoked a Padron 1926 a couple weeks back that was real good 1

daeji5 Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Tatuaje tattoo. i tried two. stopped before the first third mark. didn't like them at all. It was a Quintero londres ex. a week ago ditched about half way in wonky burn and taste not good enough to struggle through. The sub zero temps probably didn't help and super cold dry wind. I try again when the grass is green give it some time. I had a londres ex that was about 9 months old and i was so surprised by how much it changed that i bought some more quinteros and tucked it away.
Bill Hayes Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Pulled out a Juan Lopez robusto that was maybe a bit early to be smoking and it was perhaps a touch moist. I lit it terribly and had a wonky burn that I couldn't correct and had to constantly relight it, making it taste like ash tray. Rushed the smoking of it to stop it going out which didn't help either. Half way through I cut off the lit end and tried to relight the now mangled charred end. Battled on through because I was really looking forward to it. Maybe I should put this in the 'How you stuffed up a perfectly good cigar' thread and not the 'Bad cigar' thread. Anyway, might try one tonight.
