They went to my local B&M for Cigars for Warriors.

For me, probably the time I lit up a good stogie in the truck for the 90 mile commute home...forget the brand, but it was no doubt something in the $10-12 range...by the time I got to Carpenteria from Goleta, I had to pull over in the McDonald's parking lot and toss...man...never had that happen before!
I know a lot of people like them, but for me it was the DE Kentucky Fire Cured
Brickhouse for me. It tasted like someone rolled up a horse dung.
I think there's a bimodal distribution on this thread - one is actual worst-ever cigars, and the other is the serious disappointments masquerading as premium cigars. I've had plenty of the latter, but for the former, I would have to say it's a bundle I bought at a little shop in rural Honduras in the 90s. It was something like the equivalent of a few bucks for a bundle of 16 or 20. My tastes were not at all refined at the time, but this one tasted like I was smoking mud. Stuck it out for about half of one, got a splitting headache, and pitched the whole lot of them.
With cigars, you don't always get what you pay for, but you never get what you don't pay for!
Some people like them....you may too. Everyones palate is different. I didn't stumble upon the bad (pencil taste) reviews until after I bought them. And that is what I tasted. It is 100% broadleaf (wrapper, binder, filler)....can anyone chime in if that is the reason for the pencil taste, too much connecticut broadleaf?
