The cigars to stay away from

[JHAYES6405]

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.

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.

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.....

And it's also ALtadis.

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.
