Worst Cigar Of The Year 2011

[Craig Mac]

Since we have a "best" thread already, lets do a worst. Let's try to keep this to one or two cigars(that means you njstone) and avoid any drama/bashing about cigar companies. Just in your opinion what was the worst cigar you had from this year's releases.


For me it was hands down the Xikar HC Salamon

 

[Tnt Cigarguy]

For me it was Ghurka Ninja.......was given to me blind so I wouldn't know what it was and it was still an awful stick.

a.turrent puro corojo. do not know why i keep doing it to myself, i know i have an altadis allergy.

and (not gonna make friends here), black market. i AM going to try again with an open mind and clear palate tomorrow. toro in my cigar sleeve, promise.

EDIT: and huge apologies to mr. rubin and co. a revisit if the black market gave me the "aha" moment. like a sonic youth album, or a david lynch film, this just took my brain a few tries to process.

 

[Tobacco Giant]

For me it was Camacho Triple Maduro.......what a horrible stick.

The mashup has a 5 pack for $58...I guess you'll be passing?

 

[jmvcp]

La Sirena was just bad

 

[MReschke0626]

Illusione 88 maduro. Or any of the Illusione Maduros really. Just was completely let down by them. Maybe my love of everything else from Illusione set the bar too high.

 

[Skitalets]

Did not like the Avion. Probably not the worst cigar of the year overall, but I didn't smoke many bad cigars. This was the worst new release for me.

 

[CigarMan Andy]

Miraculous Templar. The worst cigar I have smoked in years.

 

[javajunkie]

Did not like the Avion. Probably not the worst cigar of the year overall, but I didn't smoke many bad cigars. This was the worst new release for me.

this! not the avion part, but the overall quality of new offerings! GREAT year to be a stogie nerd!

X2 I gave the other 3 out of the 5 pack I had away.

 

[BagfullofPings]

AVO 85

Maybe not the worst, but it was the biggest letdown.

 

[Zedman05]

I would have to say the Skull and Bones OR, and the Kristoff Maduro Torpedo. Both of these cigars I could not finish as the taste was just either harsh or very very soapy (if that is even a word).
I did really like the flavors in one cigar I had, but could not complete as well; the Fauso Robusto. It was way too strong for me, so I don't know if I could put it in this catagory, but the flavors were pretty good.

La Aurora 107 Maduro Draper 124th.

Clearly the dual binders are needed and the NUb format has gotten a bit old.

A was astonished at how much I disliked the Tat Casita Criola.
I have liked if not loved most Tas I have tried, and I am a sucker for just about anything wrapped in a CBL.

I do plan to try the CG, as most reviews of this vitola have been great.

 

[Jfire]

I really am struggling for a answer..... Havnt tried everything out nc wise. Either the wolfman or the Undercrown. I at least finished the Undercrown. But what I already know is the wolfman has been great to others. So I'll try it again.

cuesta rey sungrown captiva

mild to the max ...tasted like warm milk... blech !

 

[gui_tarzan]

This is easy, I did a blind taste test on the Augusto Reyes Urban Robusto and hated it. Nothing but pepper from start to finish. It was bad enough that it burned my tongue and nose and I do not like that.

:frownno:

My thoughts exactly. I gave it three tries and it was just not for me.

 

[amsgpwarrior]

Regusto Cigars. Boutique from Panama. Not my thing. Plain and simple. Haven't smoked a lot of bad cigars this year.

 

[bugbear]

Skull N Bones ?

No question
