5 Most Dreaded Smokes...

[badwhale]

Have you ever smoked a Hoyo DE Monterrey ,Punch,El Rey de Mundo?

Yep. I have a box of Rey Mundos in the humi right now. I haven't had enough Punch(es) to say if I like them or not. I like Hoyos.

I wasn't trying to piss anyone off saying that consuerga was one of my 5 least favorites.

This could be fun

Worst cigars ever (if you have these, make sure you send them to me for proper disposal! PM me for my address):
1) Padrons of the '64, '26, 40th and 80th bent (natural or maduro, but the maduro are much worse and need much more of a quick disposal)
2) Opus, Anejos, Maduro Hemingways
3) Davidoff Diademas and Culebras or other Davidoff specials (Graycliff XX, AVO LE's, etc)
4) Any from that special island
5) La Auroras

I'd have to say

1) Acids
2) Royal Jamaica (Only had one but it wasn't very good)
3) Nub Cameroon (Liked the Habano and Connecticut but not the cameroon)
4) Victor Sinclair (Got a sampler and I'd probably say these qualify for yard-gars)
5) Ghurka (I'd have to say that I've had the worst luck with roll quality on these cigars... half of them are too tight to smoke and another 25% burn oddly... the remaining 25% are usually pretty damn good but for some of the prices of their cigars I would expect a perfect draw/burn every time)

I actually like the black pearl maduro

[ashauler]

1. Te-Amo
2. Anything Thompsons
3. CAO Italia
4. Petrus
5. Anything flavored

[CAJUNBLAZE]

I think the question is deceptive.

What might be dreaded for my taste, may be someones best, or even a premium smoke.
I happen to like Onxy Maduros.

As far as I think are dreaded:

Thompson's brand
Flavored smokes

Everything else I have smoked and dreaded, I thought we're good just not my taste.
I am rather new, only been smoking cigars for 9 months. I sure I will run in to some more

[islcigar]

Only 5 ??? Very limiting.

Acid
Gurkha
99% of all General Cigar Company's products
98% of all Altadis USA products
Arganese

* I believe flavored do not count..... they are NOT true cigars.

No special order. IMO they are all CRAP.

[badwhale]

At worst, its deceptive, at best, worded poorly. However, I wasn't trying to decieve, merely start a debate.

I notice a trend that almost nobody likes the flavored / infused ones.

In that same vien, I checked on the consuregras that I had, and they were in fact #9s. Others on this thread said they enjoyed them. Case in point. Now I'm tempted to get another bundle to try again

There is really no right or wrong answer to be debated here.....no set of "facts" around which to center any argument, everything is just an opinion.

I can't stand the CAO Italia........others love them, so what.

Kevin is just trying to make a point that not all Consuegras are the same. They are seconds of many different lines. Some are good, some damn good, and some lick balls.

For me 5 smokes that I would not bother picking up again.

1. Guantanameras
2. "Mexican" RyJ's
3. Tierra Del Sol
4. CAO Gold
5. Helix

[badwhale]

Hmmmm

Maybe I stumbled upon a batch of "lick balls" consuergas.

If I could go back, I'd change definietly change that to Acid Def Sea
Tasted like a swisher sweet. (Hopefully I don't anger anyone with that pick)

So, what's a good consuerga? If they're seconds that keep changing, how do you know?

The one(s) I had were very dry, harsh & poorly constructed. burned fast & hot.

[pmp]

ghurka
acid
Iguanas(these are legendary among bad cigars)
guantanameras
te amo

I'm not a "connie" connoisseur, I have only had the #9 which was pretty good. I believe it was a punch rothschild second(don't quote me). If you do a little search there is a reference list floating around the internet somewhere that will tell you what some of the #'s are.

Number 9 is by far the most popular and you are right its a similar blend to punch/hoyo.

I smoked a few bundles of these when I was new to cigars.
