Worst cigar you've ever smoked

[DogRockets]

Fuente Curly Head Deluxe hands down

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.

Tierra del Sol, by Perdomo. Early on in my intro to cigars. Had others Perdomo's that were fine to me prior. I wasn't disappointed the thing disintegrated halfway through. A yard-gar for sure.... in the compost pile.

Brickhouse for me. It tasted like someone rolled up a horse dung.

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

I agree with this. I got a 10-pack of the Kyotos on cbid for fairly cheap, tried to smoke 2 of them, and gave the rest away. The fire cured campfire/burning leaves taste just isn't for me.

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!

I like this, may have to steal it...

Worst ever? Hmmm. CI' LGC knockoff. Metallic and funky tasting. Gurkha's are better tasting than that one
