Since I work for CI I can say I don't appreciate good cigars. I get an amazing discount and have thrown out cigars that I don't like with in minutes after lighting them. Guess that's what happens when you save sometimes 90% on cigars  .. I'm stocking up before I leave .. (I'll show pics soon) and I want to know what's the worst cigar out there.. I had a Mark Twain the other night that was pretty awful.. Just looking for some insight.

I suppose it is taste and that means it is subjective.  But I've yet to have anything from Drew Hill that wasn't simply awful.

Oh Gurkhas are a damn joke, dot get me started lol.. Spends all his $$$ on making cool boxes and that's about it...  I might try Ron Mexico, don smith, hesitant pirate  .. Or any of those .. Basically all the same shit anyway.  I'm on a quest for the worst cigar.

As a general rule but not set in stone, the  quality of a cigar in my experience is inversely proportional to the advertising budget/hype and the number of specials you see for it. That would include at least 2 of the above cigars.



Gurkhas being prime exhibit A.

Should hook it up with some Liga Pravada T52's and Feral Pigs.

On the worst cigar, most Gurkha's, C&C just tasted bad, and any flovored or infused cigar (acid)

While tasty, I prefer the Ruination over the Armada. I've had some good Gurka sticks, but you have to wade through all of the crap to be there. I don't like Vega Fina and 5 Vegas either.

All acids are garbage and if you don't agree you are wrong. If you still don't think you're wrong for not agreeing do push ups till you realize you're wrong.

Acids or grape Swisher Sweets.




I tried an Acid *once*. Three or four puffs, and it was in the campfire.

Any cigar that has gone "stale" from drying out, or other reasons, like the 601 blue that pistolputz smoked.

I have tried 4 or 5 to date... Hated every single one of them.  I will save the rest for you guys.  

The only thing that bothers me is that I put myself through the abuse of trying that many..

Gurkha remains the only one I've ever thrown out.  Kuba Kuba I smoked all the way just because it was so bad it was funny.  

I've had a number of "meh" cigars, but those two were actually terrible.

Macanudo Cafe. Awful. I freaking hate macanudo with a passion. I really can't stand anything with mexican tobacco to be honest. Tastes like bad dry dirt to me.

With that off my chest, I have never tried Acids or any other flavored cigar. So those would probably be worse. I am also sure the machine made stuff is worse.

Gurkhas are the worse, (for the price.) I'm not a fan of CAO sticks, can't put my finger on it but have never found one I liked. Acids are horrible but I understand why they sell, hipsters seem to like them.

About a month after I started smoking cigars I went on a cruise.  I bought a couple of Blondies before I got on, because hey... never tried them.

One puff... that was it.  tossed it, and gave the other to a guy in the lounge who said his neighbor "smoked that crap"
