Your most disappointing smoke of 2010?

[Thegreekone]

without a doubt the Drac was my most disappointing smoke

Is it a dud or a question of time? I went from having none to having three in the oven.

Um... 46, Face, Skull and Bones II wasn't so fun either.

The Rocky Patel 15th is still mind-boggling, the retail version of the Gran Habano Azteca is also problematic.

For me, it was a 2010 release Opus X Super Belicoso. Right off the bat, it was a very powerful smoke and never let up. Initially, I was going to trade them all, but have since decided to put them to sleep for 3-5 years and see how they're doing at that point.

I really didn't groove the Viaje Holiday Blend 2009. It's not that it was bad, it just tasted weird to me. I was expecting a lot more based on the hype.

 

[SkinsFanLarry]

For me, handsdown, it was the Viaje Satori!

 

[BoSox55]

I'm gonna have to say the Satori, Jan 2010 T110 release (sorry Marvin), and the Behike 52

Can't believe you put the Behike 52 on the crap list. Best cigar of the year for me and actually worth the price.

Tat Black... blah, JDN Dark Corojo is just awful IMHO.

 

[BSBONO]

Definately Nosotros

For me it was 2009 opus x ( perfecxion x and #5)These were the only two opus I've smoked any both had no flavor. They both were the blandest cigar I remember smoking. The other ones I have I will not be smoking for a while.

Anyone sticking new Cubans or Opuses (or Añejos) on this list is a bit off, as I think most agree that all of these almost always need age when released.

Aren't the Behikes aged for quite some time? I have heard nothing but superlative reviews on every one.

Personally I blew through my Boxe(s) of 56s in two weeks. :tiphat:

 

[WhiteWolfIndulgence]

most disappointing smoke I've had this year. San Cristobal. Just not flavorful. And at $15 a stick..

I don't think they are aged (in the non Cuban sense) after rolling. They use aged tobacco, unlike most CCs though.

Thanks, Doc. Not only are you right, that is what I meant to say. :ccool:

Funny, CA gave it a 93! Goes to show you there are smokes for all types.

 

[LTS 4 Bad Cigars]

A tie...

Quintero Robusto & El Baton...Yuk

 

[itallushrt]

For me, handsdown, it was the Viaje Satori!

Agreed. Horrible stick!

 

[njstone]

Mine was the Tatuaje 7th Reserva. I had such high expectations for this smoke because of previous Reserva's (i.e. SW Maddie and Regios). To me the smoke is too muddled.

give it time. in a year they'll be fantastic. quote me on that :smokingbo

 

[icehog3]

The Face didn't live up to my hype-o-meter expectations. I have one more and eight of his friends going to sleep for a good long while.

The Face for me as well.

I can't remember if the Punch Uppercut was released this year or last year, but that is my most disapointing cigar of 2010. I love sumatra wrappers, but this was just a bad cigar to me. The construction was great. It just wasn't good.

I agree. I received 2 at a cigar/brew fest and will let the 2nd sit for a bit. Rearranged a humidor this afternoon and put it in the bottom so it can rest. It smelled very promising on pre-light but didn't deliver. Maybe it was just a bad tastebud day for me.
