Bought a bundle of Indian Tabac Super Fuerte a few years ago. WORST burn and taste of any cigar I'd ever had. Kept at them, thinking that as they aged they may come around. Never happened. An awful experience that kept on giving.
As for Vegas 5, in general, not great BUT I have enjoyed the Cask Strength Firkins.
Worst ever? Hmmm. CI' LGC knockoff. Metallic and funky tasting. Gurkha's are better tasting than that one
I have yet to consume anything that resembles the autopsy runoff you folks have smoked..... my worst seems to be the ones that leave me a bit 'meh'....
I probably blank out any bad ones or I have a totally undiscerning palate.
Ummm read my dogrocketeathon.... some cigar shaped thkng with a USMC band from a Dominican brown bag sampler. Was like chewing on a fresh cut oine limb.
Had a Macanudo Gold Bar that tasted like sour butter. Blech!
I think people are confusing "disappointing" with "worst" somehow. Everyone has different tastes, so someone, somewhere is going to be disappointed with literally every cigar made. There's someone out there who will think OpusX is blah, even though the majority will appreciate it for a fine cigar. Same with Ligas, high-end Davidoffs, Tats, Anejo, and all other cigars generally accepted as "high end" premiums.
To me the Jericho Hill I smoked was incredibly disappointing. It wasn't "bad" just because it didn't meet expectations. It was still a good cigar, but I wouldn't pay that price point again for it.
Anyway, just felt like griping because I see people using this thread (the same happened on the Puff version, to a greater extent even) to dog on a premium they didn't enjoy as much as everyone else did.
But to get back to the thread, the worst cigar I've ever tried was a Victor Sinclair Connecticut Yankee. My head was pounding after getting about 1/2" in to the thing. And in that 1/2" I needed another relight... I chucked it in the yard where it stayed until the next time I mowed. Apparently the squirrels, possums, raccoons, and whatever else roams my back yard didn't want it either. If my yard starts growing the tobacco leaves they used in that cigar I'm going to be pissed.
Garo Double Habano. When first starting out, I bought a bundle based off of reviews on CI (I know, I know...I said I just started out!) Had one ROTT, tasted like mud. Waited a couple of months, still tasted like mud. Went back a year later, tasted like well rested mud, plus was bitter. The ones that were left went into a fire pit, didn't feel right giving them away.
Whoops! I just noticed that I posted this in the "Wost Cigar" thread. I thought I was posting in the "Didn't Live Up to the Hype" (or whatever) thread. My apologies! This is the only LP9 I've ever smoked and it was a good cigar. A very good cigar even! It's jus tthat my expectations were very high based on all of the raves. I think I like the Undercrown better to be honest.Quote:

I bought a whole box of them thinking I was scoring some deal. After smoking about half of that turd I went home, opened the box, and took GREAT pleasure in snapping each of the remaining "cigars". Not only snapping them in two but also reducing them to dust. That's how angry I was with that box of cigars. God did they suck sooooooooo bad. That almost turned me off of cigars.....almost.
Toss up between CAO CX2 and Alec Bradley Tempus.
I didn't get past a third of either of these. They were horrible.
