The cigars to stay away from
We always hear about the cigars that people recommend but I want to know the cigars that you did not like at all. The ones to stay away from. Especially the high priced cigars that you wish you could get your money back. The total disappointments. Lets hear it.

Partagas 150 robusto-not again, Ashton ESG-started great, went out for no good reason and was a $20+ skank from there on. I've smoked alot of Partagas Blacks & Ashton VSG's, but no more 150's & ESG's.

Way overpaid for an Espresso Pirate, but I liked it. Had the Espresso PG Robusto once and the Pirate was much, much better.Originally Posted by JFellows

Well....as has been said so much in the past...the best cigar is the one you like. I guess the same can be said for the worst, right?
For me a Te Amo anything and (I know a lot of you will disagree with me on this) a Cusano 18 Robusto. Either of these brands tastes like a big ole grass fire to me.
I believe that one man's trash is another man's treasure. That being said, I'm sure some people find the Puros Indios line to be a real treasure.

I know it doesn't count, but I lost my dinner one night after smoking an ACID Kuba Kuba.
Other bad smokes for me:
Bahia Gold Toro (like rotting wet hay)
Ancient Warrior (the C-bid monster size...bleh)
La Aurora Robusto
Avo Maduro Robusto

Tell me about your Maduro
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.

I will probably get some folks disagreeing with me here, as a lot of people have recommended these smokes to me, but I HATE "Nub" cigars. The only thing I like about them is that the ash REALLY hangs on there. I was smoking one the other day and I went to rest it on the ash tray (it was about half way smoked with all the ash still there) but dropped it before I got it there. The thing LANDED ON THE ASH but the ash did not break! Heck, it barely even bent. I didnt finish the whole thing, as it tasted like garbage, but I was impressed that the ash never fell off. I saw in a magazine that someone smoked one as far as they could and then stood it vertically on the ash and it didnt even fall over. Wild.

Being a cigar newb.. I really havent been impressed with Drew Estates... Maybe i had a FEW bad sticks??
Shhhhhhmoke and a pancake
The only cigar I would smoke from them is the Liga Privada. It has become a favorite. It is nothing like anything else they carry. I would recommend it to anyone.
Family, Friends and a good cigar. Oh and some fishing too!

Drew Estate makes POOP, IMO.
