oljud Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Partagas D No4 MAY -14, last night. Bland and boring, tight draw and kept going out. Tossed it halfway through :/
JohnS Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Cohiba Robusto Supremo EL 2014 Trinidad Vigina 2014 Cohiba 1966 2011 cohiba 1966 just bad I have had the same issues with Monte#4. Even out of a HQ box some are cracker and some are tasteless. It's a shame that the Cohiba 1966 EL 2011 was bad for you as my experience with this cigar was exactly the opposite (and a heartfelt thanks, Trevor!) The Monte 4? Yes, I can relate to the fact that they are hit-and-miss, quite common for these high production cigars.
Ryan Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I bought a 5-pack tin of RyJ Julietas in Havana as walking around cigars. Tried one and it was bitter, just awful. I wasn't smoking it fast but it was hot and bitter, nothing pleasant at all. The packaging is lovely, just get the cigars right. A Cuban panetela can be a great thing. The Julietas, at least the ones I had last week, aren't.
Smallclub Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 The Julietas, at least the ones I had last week, aren't. In Spain the Julietas are sold just like the cigarillos, next to the cigarettes, ie not in the shop's humidor. Says a lot about how they are perceived there…
SmittyinAZ Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 '14 Monte Petit 2, probably too young, but still, wasn't good at all. 1
Scroats Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Long live the King Lancero. Heard some good things about this NC and the newer brand. Construction was stunning and the prelight draw was promising. When put to the flame it showed its true colors....****. Muscled thru the 1st 1/3, then it flew over the over the fence onto 67th Ave in South Miami(if anyone wants it). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The one I had was plugged. I liked the king is dead line better.
Shikar Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Cohiba Sublime. Don't know how I will manage to go thru that box of huge turds. Regards. 1
Cisco Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 The last two 2013 Monte PEs I smoked were terrible. Poor construction and little taste. These were sitting in my humidor for over six months. A Monte 2 this week was also terrible with what appeared to be a stem in the cigar that caused it to burn poorly and taste terrible. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
purpleloki Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 A really crappy Partagas Shorts. The last third was just bitter. Must be in an in between phase, I hope...
teamrandr Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Diplomaticis No. 2 plugged bad threw it like a javelin after 20 minutes.
Laxman Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Smoked an NC a few months back that was pretty crappie, CC wise a custom or two I tried.
DoubleDD Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Connie 1....they have ruined my experience so bad I refuse to try again. I'm even afraid to venture outside of the Winston/No 2/PC into the unknown.
Bclass1 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 A lot of Cohiba so far.. Mine was a recent HdM Epi 2. Just awful.. Was looking forward to a sweet, medium bodied, creamy smoke. Achieved non of the above.
reffy Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 NC H. Upmann The Banker robusto. Started off fairly nice, medium spice and coffee. Then after the first inch it turned into a complete dog rocket. Full blast bitterness and an overpowering spice. Never again...
Habana Mike Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Price/performance, CRS. Tight as a seagull's a$$hole..... 1
Nrengle Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Not a cuban; Kentucky Fire Cured. Whatever they're calling their petit corona offering size. Just tasted like I was smoking ash after the first third, and that first third was a very one dimensional smoke of black pepper. A while back had a terrible Partagas P2. Wrapper started peeling in the middle nowhere near burn or cut and just tasted like a hot dog **** covered in burnt cowhide....
Mr Cholmondley Warner Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 A particularly bad BBF last weekend, harsh and tasteless....not bought from Rob, that's why it must have failed!
El Presidente Posted March 27, 2015 Author Posted March 27, 2015 A particularly bad BBF last weekend, harsh and tasteless....not bought from Rob, that's why it must have failed! Out of interest, 2014 or earlier. There are dud BBF in all years but 14 was good for BBF in general.
Mr Cholmondley Warner Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Out of interest, 2014 or earlier. There are dud BBF in all years but 14 was good for BBF in general. It was a 2013 and I suspect not treated well
SmittyinAZ Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 San Crist Principe (EML Jun '14).......not necessarily a crapper in regards to flavor or anything, just plugged. Tighter than a frogs a-hole.
danny Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 A plugged Partagas Super Partagas. Finding a lot of duds in production boxes. But when they're not I really enjoy them.
cooper669 Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Upmann Half Corona........tasted like a bar of soap. Pitched it
