Which Marque do you dislike the most?

[El Presidente]

Which marque from the following  do you dislike the most? Just one. 

Let us know on the poll and if you have a moment, let us know why?

Yes...there is a reason for this poll 

[JohnS]

Bolivar. The reason? I don't connect with the 'earthiness' in this marca. However, I don't mind a BBF or a Bolivar Tubos No.1 from time-to-time.

[SigmundChurchill]

I said Punch.

But I like all of the choices to differing degrees.  Of these choices, I wouldn’t even say I dislike Punch the most, as much as I would say that I like it the least.

[Wookie]

HDM for me....though sometimes I get wonderful stone fruits, most of the time I get blandness (which is what must be cream for many)

I just don’t enjoy the taste profile of Montecristo.

[nKostyan]

Cohiba- is too overrated and overpriced brand. If Cohiba appears in my humidor, I try to smoke it out faster, so that it does not catch my eye and does not annoy me. I fight it, but it keeps coming back

 

[inter4alia]

Monte with Hoyo a close second. I've tried most Monte regular production vitolas several times over and it's shocking how few resonate with me. Seriously inconsistent construction and flavor, but get a great one and it's glorious. Just far too few fall into that category. I'm just not willing to buy box after box only to get a few cracker sticks. Apart from a box of Especial No 2 here and there, no more coin from me for this marca. 

[Thirds]

Upmann - because I can’t taste what others are tasting in this marca.  It just comes out as woody smoke.  Although I had an HUHC this week that was exceptional.  First Upmann where the flavors were detectable for me. 

[99call]

Cohiba.....like being licked by kittens.      Never feel like i've had a cigar after a Cohiba . Medio Siglo and Piramides Extra get a pass, as they've got some guts.    Trinidad and Quai D'orsay are my premium light bodied smokes, as they have rounded out complete blends. 

[PrairieSmoke]

Monte — not that I haven’t had good ones before, just underwhelming considering the vast array of options in the marca. 

[mbflash80]

I voted RYJ but its a case where I like all of these...heck, I keep a decent supply of wide chirchills on hand at all times..

[Puros Y Vino]

I voted Bolivar.  I don't hate it per se'.  It's just that I don't find a lot of cigars in this marca I do love.  I'm a huge fan of the BGM. But that's limited and long since gone. I enjoy BBF's, but I don't find myself going out of the way to stock up on them.  I do have an old box of Vintage BCE's and consider them to be the pinnacle of the brand.  So, from that list.  Bolivar for me.

[GrouchoMarx]

Picked bolivar.

BBF's aren't a BAD cigar - just what I consider "below middle of the road" overall.

Given a choice from that list, it would be my last choice.

[99call]

Poor poor Bolivar!!.......the good old girl is getting an outrageous shallacking

[Astar20]

Bolivar for me only the BBF has a decent flavor profile all the other vitolas taste like a scoop of wet dirt in my mouth very one dimensional and underwhelming. I'm trying to smoke through them as fast as I can. 

[FatPete]

I voted Upmann, not because I dislike it (hell my inventory tells me I've got more Upmann than anything else) but I don't like any of the Magnum series. Of the other marcas listed, I'm happy to smoke just about anything.

This comment is exactly my thoughts as well.  I voted Punch.  I don’t feel there are enough vitolas to judge the marque appropriately.

[Capt. Corona]

Hard to hate any............voted cohiba, more for being overpriced than flavor.

Ditto

[Tstew75]

I wish QDO was on the list lol. Going with RyJ.

[Guest Nekhyludov]

I went with Cohiba, only because of the recent price increases. The cost of Cohiba has become absurd, and it just isn't possible to justify anymore. I don't foresee ever buying them again. I've got half a box each of '14 CORO and '15 Esplendido, and when those are gone, I'm likely done with Cohiba.

[alloy]

I voted HDM. Except for the Des Dieux, they just don't do it for me. 

[Buck14]

Montecristo is easily #1 for me - just too many nondescript sticks. No flavor at all. Especiales are an exception.

At #2 is Bolivar as the most overrated Marca bar none. The only current regular production I like are 4-5 year old Royal Coronas and even then they are far down the list of my favorite Robustos / Hermoso #4s frequently smoked vitolas. BBFs are terrible.

Romeo y Julieta is #3 but I absolutely love the Cazadores and Wide Churchills

[CampDelta369]

Punch for me, in my extremely limited CC experience with all these different marcas. It’s just that it has no representation right now in my humidor. Punch Punch is a good cigar but less than medium for me. I hope to try that 48 one day but I rarely have a DC. Again I Don't dislike any of them, it’s just low on the list.
