Ok, we've all smoked a stick or two that we thought wasn't worthy of being on this planet, let alone even being called a cigar.

Whether everyone that has ever smoked it hated it, or it just wasn't to your individual liking.

I'll check my log when I get home to give you a dud or two of my own.


So what are your nominations?

I had a Rum Runner Buccaneer.  Seriously, it tasted like paper

Edit: I'm not sure if it is handmade or not.

Here are two more:
Cohiba Red Dot (no taste)
Drew Estates Natural Clean Robusto (gifted to me..... it tasted like a Swisher Sweet)

Oh you know how to pick a topic that could wind up to be a nasty flaming war...  
My pick:
1)  Any flavored cigars, basically CAO, Drew Estate, and Kaluha flavored cigars
2)  Fake Cuban cigars, especially the Cohiba Churchill a friend of mine (no ideas what is cigar), gave me.  Two puffs, and into the charcoal grill it went
3)  JR Alternatives, or other no name brands

I smoked a regular Punch the other day. Tight as hell and had no "Punch". No flavor and not much smoke.

I was disappointed.

Ok...here's a couple of mine

Punch Maduro

Punch Gran Puro

Now, I'm not hating on Punch here, I actually really enjoy their Gran Cru and I do like their Rare Corojo now and again.

Even though The Edge Corojo is a favorite of mine, I don't care for almost everything else I have tried from him.

90', '92' are terrible, and the Fusion Double Maduro is nothing to write home about.

ETA- For a mild stick, his Connecticut is not bad, although I prefer Med-Full

this thread is worthless if you don't explain WHY the cigar is bad.
just i don't like "X" tells us nothing.

for example:montecristo white is shit...

how about: the montecristo white has no flavor.  i like  maduro cigar and was handed one of these at a party and there is just nothing there.  it's like white bread.  no flavor or substance.  i woudl recommend it to a smoker who was just staring out or wanted a mild flavor but if you like rich full cigars this is not it.

Damn, I like the America's.

Not sure on the Onyx, I can't really describe the foul flavor in the last two I had.


I just got a fiver of rocky patels edje maduro's. Smoked one, will have another before I pass judgement.

The CAO America was like smoking a giant cigarette to me.

The only discernable flavor was tobacco and it had zero complexity IMO

RP Vintage 90 and 92's tasted like they were dipped in cheap womens perfume and made me a little nauseous.

I had the same feeling when I smoked it on the 4th of July. I thought maybe I was just too drunk.

Got another one aging and am willing to give it another try.

Pretty much anything by Victor Sinclair (The bohemians especially).  Tastes acrid and burn like sh!t

El mejor espresso.  Totally one dimensional

NC cubans (Cohibas especially).  Also totally one dimensional.

Ashton ESG.  A $20+ stick it's NOT.  I'd pay no more than $8 for it.  Not saying it's bad, but certainly not the super premium they make it out to be.

No, no...

If you look at the review thread it will become apparent that RATTERS is the one who likes smoking dog rockets and then reviewing them.

Ain't no leftovers cause I wont buy the stinking turds.

Although I have to file this under "Even a blind pig finds an acorn every now and then" in the interest of fairness: The RP Renaissance is a damn fine cigar.
