Morro Castle. Terrible flat taste, almost malty. Construction, even after 2 weeks in perfect conditions, was terrible, with the wrapper flaking and coming apart. The worst was the burn, which was so uneven I almost could not tell which part of the cigar was the lit end. A complete disaster. I had to toss it after the first third, and even then I was really trying to give it a chance because I'm a cheap bastard. I give it a big fat zero out of ten score.

A very long list........ but firts on mind - Acid and Arganese. Will never carry either at the store.

I would not recommend:
St. Luis Rey Reserva Especial Serie G Churchill: What a letdown. It had so much promise! Big, dark in color, it smelled good, the wrapper was firm, but I felt like I was fighting it to smoke it while my fiancee sat across from me enjoying my favorite cigar.

I was very unimpressed with a Helix I had the other day on a whim.

Aren't those all machine-made? I thought we would just assume they were bad; I thought we were basically sticking to handmades.....

At the risk of being humiliated back to the stone age, I didn't mind the Hav-A-Tampa Jewels (didn't they have the wooden tips?) when I was in high school and didn't know any better. I think we also enjoyed Backwoods as well.
Kinda goes hand in hand with Boone's Farm, Thunderbird, and MD 20/20.

The illusione F9 I had yesterday was completely aweful. The draw was so loose it felt like I was sucking on a straw, and the taste was one of spicy mud. One of the worst cigars I have ever had.

Puros Indios I kind of like. I like the subtle sweetness in the smoke, but the consistency varies. I also liked the first Camacho Corojo I smoked. The fiver of them I bought next were mediocre at best. The wrapper didn't even look as nice. Same thing with the Don Kiki line. When they're good, they're good, but buying them is a crap shoot. I once got a bundle of RP vintage 92 seconds that were complete shit, and the RPV92 is one of my favorite smokes. I've never seen a Churchill Deluxe that I liked. The Te-Amo and the Victor Sinclair Bohemian series cigars I've had tasted like some kind of Dandelion/Fescue blend.

Actually, I found the Churchill Deluxe to be an acceptable cheapie for fishing. At 50 cents per stick, one can't expect much. And I don't feel bad if I accidentally drop it into the creek halfway through. It's for this reason that I would never take a good cigar fishing. Fishy fingers, drops into the water... you know.Puros Indios I kind of like. I like the subtle sweetness in the smoke, but the consistency varies. I also liked the first Camacho Corojo I smoked.

Agree, probably worse than a macanudo.

I'll stick to Roly Torp's for yard gars and fishing. The last Churchill Deluxe I had sealed the deal. I was sitting there thinking, "I think I'd rather be smoking a Te-Amo! Did they age this in someones colon?", when, almost two full inches below the the burning end, my finger gets a mild burn. As I stare in amazement, a hole finishes burning through the top of the cigar where my finger was. That was it for me!
Maybe I just got a bad stick, but something that bad turns you off forever.

Yeah, I know! I think commercially, they're called "Phillies".
