We have not had this discussion in a while here in the forums so let's see what's what. For the sake of comparing, let's rule out flavored, machine rolled, and short filler cigars.

My worst one to date was years back. It was a Boardwalk Churchill from Holt's. They used to sell them in a lacquered box for under a buck a pop and they were pretty awful!! They still sell them today for a buck a pop, but only in bundles if you're interested  :biggrin:

Too many to list, I dabbled in the bargain bin stuff far too long in the first couple years in the hobby.  Here's a few that stand out in my mind though:

Cu Avana
Professor Sila
RP Broadleaf
Fonseca, pick your blend

Flor de Oliva Maduro, the Oliva Baptiste was only slightly better - or I should say not quite as bad. They were both dismal in my opinion.

Augusto Reyes Taino, horrible.
I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

Mine was Vega Fina (DR) Nicaragua Robusto

Here was my review
It is nice to know that in this world of shoddy workmanship, participation trophies, and the Yugo that this cigar can be held up as a beacon of darkness to those same standards. Trying to find the flavors in this cigars is about as easy as finding a good steak restaurant in Pyongyang, North Korea. With the courts ruling out waterboarding the NSA has a new weapon in which to torture enemy combatants.
I got this cigar for free and still somehow feel I was cheated out of money.

I was just starting out with buying more in bulk as opposed to one cigar at a time...These seemed to be a good deal.  They looked tasty....I had one and slowly gave the rest away...Started doing MUCH better research on my cigars after that...LOL  Thankfully it has been so long I can't remember what it tasted like...I just know it wasn't good...LOL
I thought I was wrong once....but I was mistaken....

What good is it to wear your lucky rocketship underpants if nobody wants to see them????

Prida Robusto, here was part of my review: On light up their was a taste that I don't want to recall it was bad, after the first couple of draws it settled down a bit.  Some leather was present, but was gone before I good tell it was leather. Then bad set back in that was all I could take and I tossed into the street, I would not even let this thing set in my ashtrays with the other nubs Overall this is a POS I didn't even want to say I smoked it past 1/2, but did. It did burn even and held a nice ash.    :biggrin:

Same. I spent way too much time trying to find the ultimate $2 stick. Not worth it. I don't smoke every day, and when I do it's to relax and hang out. Smoking bad cigars is not relaxing. If I smoked several a day I'd probably feel different.

It would have to be Prida robustos I got from CVM Cigars back around 2008.  Truly horrid.  That was back when I was in search of the ever-elusive "awesome cheap cigar".  I think I paid something like $14.95 for a bundle.

Asylum Dragon's Milk Bourbon Barrel Stout (Reviewed December 28, 2014)

Rating: 1 Star Rating
Fortunately, for this cigar, CG doesn't offer a lower rating.  

Marketing Description:
"Asylum Cigars are from the mind of Christian Eiroa. Solidly packed with all Nicaraguan tobacco, these cigars are sure to please anyone who enjoys a fine cigar. It's Habano wrapper releases plenty of smoke and gives a mellowed earthy taste with hints of leather to inundate your senses for an all around enjoyable smoke. Pick some up today!"

My Description:
"Asylum Cigars are from the mind of Christian Eiroa and an old barrel of musty beer. Solidly packed in a novelty milk carton with Nicaraguan tobacco leaves that wished they had been picked to go into a Philly Blunt. These cigars are sure to please... almost no one. Its Habano wrapper releases a pungent odor of New Holland beer that has been sitting in the sun for 3 hours (or a barrel for God knows how long). Oh, yea, there's plenty of smoke that yields a mellowed taste of moldy cheese with hints of a someone who spent all weekend drinking and hasn't showered. These cigars numb your senses for an all around yak inducing smoke. Save your money today!"

The list is long and undistinguished.....some of the absolute worst is from those places that sell "alternative" cigars as if they can duplicate their own advertising of..."tastes like" and then sell you some cow turd shaped like a cigar....that's about as close to "alternative" as they get.  You get what you pay for isn't just a saying...it's accurate.  When I buy a new washing machine and the salesperson tries to sell me a monkey washing out my clothes by a river stream and rubbing them over a rock....sorry....that's not the definition of "alternative."

Welcome Lukas!  I've had that White Pearl, not my worst ever but yeah it's not anything like the other LPH stuff.  Head over to the newbie intros forum and introduce yourself in a new thread there.

Geez Brad, quit beating around the bush and just be honest when you review something   :lmao:
