What Habanos cigar will you never ever purchase again

[El Presidente]

Dislike people.....you must dislike this cigar with feeling. Should throw up some interesting results. List 3

:-)

Let me kick off:

Sancho Panza Belicoso.

Sancho Panza Sanchos

LGC Medaille D'or No 2

[Tampa1257]

you must dislike this cigar with feeling. Should throw

up some interesting results. List 3

1. The Entire Jose Piedra Line, talk about wanting to throw up!!!!!!!!

2. Punch, Punch Punch.... Just don't like them

3. ERDM Choix Supreme, never had a good one, tried, but never worth another chance with me, I'm over trying this one again............

[cf2112]

The Mag 46 doesn't do it for me, I've never had a good one.

Most of the Punch line also (SS & RS excluded)

[culebra]

Guantanamera. Why oh why?

Punch Super Seleccion No 1 (2 cabs and have not had one draw properly yet)

SLR Serie A. The closest thing Habanos makes to a current Davidoff (ie overpriced and flavorless)

[cvm4]

S.P. - Non Plus...Aged ('98) or not aged, I just don't get these. Very faint flavors and I guess I like more "in your face" smokes.

[Ken Gargett]

monte LE 'C's. not that i need to with the number you sold me.

[El Presidente]

Thanks Ken....I thought I'd never get rid of them.

1) La Corona PC, the worst Habanos cigar I've ever tasted

2) Los Statos Selectos en cedro, nearly as bad as above

3) ERDM Gran Coronas, dry, bitter, poor non-descript flavor

[habanohal]

#2 QDO Just to plain Blaaaaaa

BBF

QdO Corona

[tmos]

Besides the LGC's I haven't had anything that really disagreed with me. I'm easy like Sunday morning when it comes to Habanos.:-D

[Spud2]

I'll second the Monte C EL, pretty bland for the extra $$.

[Elric]

San Cristobal El Principe...there are just too many better TPC out there.

[froghair]

monte #4

monte #2

SLR regio

[thschrminm]

Guantanamera....

Who buys these things...

[El Presidente]

This is a great thread.

It goes to show how varied peples tastes are as we have covered a wide array of cigars.

You should never discount a cigar unless you have tried it three times from at least two different purchase points or box dates.

I saw Monte 4 and 2 on the list. Seriously, I would love to send you some cracker 4's and 2's from 05 which are sensational and will change your mind :-)

[TR]

monte c el for me....

[SoCalSmoker]

'01 Upmann Lonsdale.

90% of them were plugged and the smokable ones just didn't make the grade for me.

[Echeck]

Hoyo Petit Robusto, wierd size, I dont get it

[jjwright]

Monte #2

RyJ Cazadore

Bolivar Royal Corona

[CigarZen]

Though seemingly a simple and straight forward question, it is deceptively difficult. Over time there have been havanas that I thought were just not my cup of tea, or outright sucked -- only years later to think I was wholly off base when I sampled them again. Maybe I just had some lackluster ones, or from a crop that was weak for that vitola and marque; maybe my pallate evolved or my preferences changed; maybe the vendor's or wholesaler's stroage conditions. Who the knows, probably a combination of influences.

So for now, I would say:

Sancho Panza Belicoso -- had some years ago and they were too mild. Maybe just too young. I understand they get better.

PLPCs -- I think they are only OK, maybe they'll get better with with time.

BRC -- I used to love these, a major staple of my purchases pre 95, then went downhill imho. I have has some samples within the last couple years and still am underwhelmed, sadly so.

SC El Principe-can't hold a candle to Sig I, part shorts and Trini reyes.
