The cigars to stay away from

[DeeDubya]

One that sticks out in my mind is the 5V gold. Tasted like burning grass.

I don't really go for the super expensive cigars, the ones that are expensive just for the sake of being expensive, like Gurkha. I like the X-Fuerte and the Nep Warrior from Gurkha, however most of the others that I have tried have had some type of wrapper issue.

I agree,
I've got a box of Gurkha Perfectos that run really bad and to top that off don't taste that great either.

Spiffy, what size 5V Gold did you find to be unpleasant? I've only had the belicoso size and the double robusto size, but I've had probably 30 of each, and I've enjoyed every single one.

Camacho Corojo line. Had one last night and tried to give it a honest take. Well, my honest opinion is: It sucked!

It was one that came in a sampler. I think it was either a Nugget or the Rubusto, don't remember since it was a while ago. I've enjoyed all the other 5V cigars I've had, so maybe I just got a dud.

I have a couple 5v gold torpedos you can have. I got a 5er of them and hated em. hit me up if you want to do a little stick trade.

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.

[King Catfish]

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.....
