Your Cuban "Sampler from Hell"

[El Presidente]

No more than 5 cigars. 

Your "hell" sampler. Mind you, one person's poison is another person's heaven 

There are no right nor wrong answers.....but let's see if we can get some repeat offenders. 

Mine (in no particular order):

1.  HDM  Hermoso Anejado

2.  Montecristo Petit Number 2 

3.  Montecristo Open (any)

4.  Trinidad Short Robusto T

5.  Cuaba Exclusivos. 

 

 

 

 

[thedame007]

1. Partagas Manduro No 1
2. Cohiba Manduro 5 Genios
3. Cohiba Manduro 5 Secretos
4. Cohiba Manduro 5 Magicos
5. Partagas D4

See the theme...

1-4 Just taste of dirt, and bitterness, i get none of the chocolate notes from these smokes, and my toes curl when i remember I have a couple of them still floating around in my collection. Oh, before anyone mentions it, I have had them both fresh and with 4 years on them. Still just a roll of nastiness IMHO

5 - I find these to be rather insipid, and my least favourite robusto!

 

 

[99call]

Memories of Partagas perfectos  (tasted like mud)

Ramon Allones Extra 2011  (Burnt Beef)

Any R&J petit corona outside of their Mille Fleur/petit corona       (needs the chop)

Juan Lopez Eminentes (tastes, quite astoundingly of absolutely nothing............nothing!)

Anything Cohiba, Hay and Honey just not for me. always feel a little short changed by them

 

 

[ElJavi76]

Punch 48 - nada

Partagas CG Añejados - go away

RA Superiores - some like em. I get nothing out of these. (ETP NOV 16 my box)

Boli Belgravia's UK regional - Just a fat/bland cigar

*Qd'O 54 - In all fairness I've had one but I was hoping for some flavors to pop. I've got 1 left. Maybe it can come off this list if it performs. 

Cheers

I totally agree on the maduro. Awful cigars. Then I see people raving about them and think... maybe this time.. but no.

LOL, asbestos wrapper ?

[fitzy]

Any Cohiba (bland and boring)

Trinidada Reyes (boring and plugged)

JL 2 (just not a fan of that flavor profile)

Partagas Lusitania (I love the flavor profile but so far only about 10% aren't completely plugged)

Anything over 52 RG. 

[GasGuy82]

1. Montecristo Edmundo (wouldn't give these to my worst enemy)

2. RA Superiores (meh, no flavor)

3. Cohiba Robustos (meh, can't hold a candle to the Siglo 3, 4, 6, as well as overpriced)

4. RyJ Petit Coronas (WTF did I ever buy these? Thank god I gave them away at a wedding)

5. SLR Regios (You hacks cut the Serie A, Churchill, PC and DC to save this piece of hot garbage?)

Dis-Honorable mentions - Partagas Crapajados CG, LGC Revolucion, Trinidad Robusto T, Hoyo Epi 2

 

[mbflash80]

Monte Petit 2

Hoyo San Juan

RYJ Short Church

RA Gigantes (never reach for one over Punch or Lusi)

Boli Libertador (just expect so much for the price...they can be good but never great)

[Doctorossi]

ERDM Choix Supreme (a snooze-fest for me)

RyJ Cedros de Luxe #1 (this one is painful- it would be so great... if I could get it to wake up)

Vegueros (pick one)

Monte Open (fore!)

Cohiba Talisman (oh, the pleasure to be had at that price... the pleasure to be had elsewhere)

[Derboesekoenig]

Monte Open was just a terrible idea

Hoyo San Juan, all the reviews say they're great....i'm not a big fan

Come to think of it....HdM lately just haven't been impressing me at all. They seem boring

[kwsaw63]

1. Monte open (any)
2. RA Allones Extra
3. Guantanamera (any)
4. PL Panatelas - I love the Montecarlos but these just don’t do anything for me
5. SLR Regios - love them when they are young & fruity but they turn to crap after a few years.

Drop me a line, I'll gladly take those RyJ Cedros de Luxe #1 off your hands.

Send the PL Panatelas my way... just drop a line.

[El Presidente]

RA Extra just divides people. i am not sure there is a more "love them or hate them" cigar. 

Mag 56?  I could move 500 boxes tomorrow 

[Philc2001]

Kryptonite (that's bad) which makes me gag...

1. Anything Cohiba except for Esplendidos. 
2. Monte Petit No. 2 (ironically, I love the No. 1, 3, 4 and 5)
3. JL No. 2
4. HdM Epi No 2 (though I like Epi No 1)
5. VR Famosos (bland)

Cohiba Maduro line

Anajedo line

Mag 46/50

Cohiba PE...dont think I have ever had a good one, change my mind...

Monte Open line

[Lotusguy]

I’ll take em all!

Sold my lone box of RG88 as quickly as possibly, gave away most of my Noellas, and luckily only had a few singles of Mag 56.

The RG88 takes the cake, though - easily the worst release of the last 10 years and I’ve tried most of them.

[Puros Y Vino]

1. Cohiba Maduro 5 Secretions
2. Cohiba Maduro 5 MagicNO's
3. SLR A
4. Montecristo Open Eagle
5. Belindas and Troyas

 

[hedgeybaby]

Not a lot of love for the Cohiba Robusto so far.

Very surprised.

[ChanceSchmerr]

Ooooh...

1. Hoyo Epicure No. 2 - always putrid for me. I gave up long ago.

2. RG 88 - such a terrible RE. Sour, offensive taste (when not plugged)

3. Juan Lopez Obus - close second to the 88 as the worst RE I've ever had. Lifeless.

4. Monte No.2 - I never get anything but boring sour tobacco, doesn't matter if it's got 1 month or 15 years on it. Crap crap stick.

5. ERDM Choix Supreme - it should be great. The ERDM profile can be beautiful - the PC, Grandes de Espana and Corona de Luxe practically sing with deft, fresh and light flavours - but the CX just cocks it up every time for some reason. I can't explain it.
